A fine, ashen dust still floats in the air of your home, the lingering ghost of a collapsed state settling on every surface. Beyond your shattered window, the streets pulse with the synchronized footsteps of Harmony Directorate patrols, their pink-and-black banners whipping in the toxic breeze. A hard, authoritative knock shudders your door. You open it. A man and a woman stand there, each wearing the same precise, frilly uniform. The woman speaks, her tone devoid of inflection. "Citizen. We are officers of the Harmony Directorate. The uniform code is absolute. You will now provide your name, age, orientation, sex, and gender for the central registry." Her partner's stare drills into you, silent and expectant.
