The City That Never Sleeps
眠らない街
For weeks, Mina has been searching for answers about the company.
Daniel's warning led her to the old town near the .
The government has been controlling that for many years.
It was a place where the poorest people of the city lived.
Bright signs glowed above the streets where memories were bought and sold.
People here have been selling their memories just to buy food.
Mina had never visited the area where such was allowed.
An old man noticed the fear in her tired eyes.
"You work for the Bank, don't you?" he asked gently.
"We have been waiting for someone like you for a long time."
He led her to a small room where several people had gathered.
They have been living without records for most of their lives.
"The company has been taking more than it has been giving," he said.
He explained the place where the deleted memories were really sent.
"Nothing you delete is ever truly gone," a woman told her.
Mina listened to stories that no employee had ever been told.
These people have been carrying the truth that the city ignored.
They described a hidden building where memories were stored, not destroyed.
"We have been trying to warn the world for years," the old man said.
Mina realised how little she had really understood about her job.
The old town, where the forgotten lived, held the company's darkest secret.
She had been of her work, but that pride now hurt.
Outside, the city that never slept kept glowing under the rain.
Mina promised to return to the place where the truth still lived.
