Status Updates From Résidence Saha

“Jin-kyung thought of the old temp agent who led her to this place without asking a single question. Of the custodian who came back to Saha where Woomi was, of Granny Konnim, of Sara who his Do-kyung at her place. Of the public servant who burned the flags…Jin-kyung thought of Su, who chose Do-kyung.”

“You came to see the Council of Ministers. You found out there is no such thing. If you pull something so stupid again, the people you care about will pay. Return to your place, do your part. Like they all did.”

Ouch.

Not the office of parliament building literally being a sham.

Wow it’s even more dystopian! The library is PEOPLE

“A Master Key assaulted a researcher and ran away. I doubt it got very far.”

Nice. Reminds me of poor people and people of colour getting experimented on without their consent. Oh, Woomi..

We’re jumping timelines a lot about the existence and the lives of people in Saha! I am interested but not necessarily hooked on each new character. I wonder if we’ll see a rebellion or riot.

“After all, the same people would be living as they always had in the same place. How bad could it get?”

“If he was found violating Special Law, there was no telling how heavy a sentence he would receive. Special Law had no standards, grounds, or appeals.”

Fascism! Fascism!!!

“The arsonist was, as the old man predicted, an L - a Citizen. A nondescript retiree in his sixties. He was drunk when he committed the crime.”

The corporation became a government branch called the Ministry of Means and Industry when Town became a nation. The corporation vanished, which turned its stock into garbage. The airport, railways, roads, and public housing were sold to foreign investors for cheap.

It’s time for FASCISM!

Jin-kyung wasn’t even an L2, but a Saha - she wasn’t anyone or anything deserving of a category.

(Okay it’s worse.)

There were two classes of people in Town: L and L2.


(Bad feeling. Really bad feeling)

A dirt road leading to a deserted park. A lone luxury sedan parked askew. Inside, a woman who could be asleep or dead. A sight to raise suspicion in anyone. Do-kyung’s mind knew as instantly as a sheet of paper catches fire that he had to run, but his body could not leave the car.

(Fun start!??)
