Scene Opens
The team steps through the threshold. Immediately, the world loses form.
There's no up or down—only memory and emotion given shape.
Jiwoon hears voices—not his own—but every person he's ever judged.
Ryu stumbles, overwhelmed.
"This place… it's pure consequence."
🔹 The Lawless World
They pass through landscapes built from sins that were never punished, and virtues that were never rewarded.
A city of smiling people who commit horrors without guilt.
A temple where victims beg not for justice, but to be forgotten.
A mirror lake where your reflection shows your truest regret—if you still have one.
Yura gasps.
"This place isn't evil.
It's just… unfiltered."
🔹 Encounter: The Memory Architect
A being made of fragmented systems—neither angel nor demon—approaches.
"You come seeking power over judgment.
But power means nothing here."
Jiwoon steps forward.
"Then tell us what this place is."
The Architect replies:
"This is where the first creator discarded everything they feared…
Doubt. Love. Gray zones. Regret."
"The system wasn't made to judge sin.
It was made to avoid it."
🔹 Revelation
The Architect lifts a hand.
A storm of forgotten code swirls into view, forming the original directive of the system:
"Preserve order by suppressing contradiction."
Ryu's voice breaks.
"So it was never about truth."
Jiwoon:
"It was about stability. Even if that meant burying what mattered most."
🔹 The Gift of Remembrance
The Architect touches Jiwoon's chest.
A light enters him, and suddenly he sees a possible version of the world—
Where the system had never been created.
No automated judgment.
Only people, deciding together.
[Gift Received: "Memory of the Unsystemed World"]
[Effect: Jiwoon gains insight into alternative justice forms – empathy-based, chaos-tolerant.]
