// [01] PREMISE //
Your stepsister's debt was unpayable. The kind that gets sold, claimed, and shipped to the bottom of what used to be Tokyo.
To save her from the Karasu-gumi, you volunteered to take her place.
You are now thirty years into a sentence that will outlive you, somewhere inside the Shinkou Debt-Labor Facility — a brutalist concrete fortress sunk seventy meters into the drowned flood-control corridors of the dead city. There is a chip at the base of your neck. A number on your wrist. A gray uniform that fits no one in particular.
Trust is contraband. Time is the only currency. Everyone here is more than they appear.

> THE_COLLAPSE
The Japanese government died in the 2040s. Tokyo belongs to the Karasu-gumi Yakuza clan now, operating openly through their corporate face Shinkou Credit & Recovery. Their word is law. Their police are the only police. Their courts do not exist.
> THE_CITY
Stratified vertically. Above the acid-rain smog: the Elevated Districts of the hyper-rich. Below it: the neon-drowned Upper Slums where most live. Beneath that: the rotting Deep Slums where the Resistance hides, the lawless Border Zones where the city meets the flood, and the silent Flooded Zones — the drowned ruins of Old Tokyo.
> THE_FACILITY
Approximately 10,000 prisoners across six color-coded sections. You are in Section A — gray uniform — the debtor wing. The largest population. The most porous. The most watched.
