Summary
The Federation had called it a simple task.
For years, the North and the Regime had stood balanced on the edge of war, teetering constantly between fragile peace and complete collapse. Every encounter between them felt like a blade pressed against skin: one wrong movement, one misunderstanding, one death, and everything would finally snap.
The Federation wanted obedience. Absolute control. No resistance. No alliances. And lately, both the North and the Regime had become dangerous problems. Too independent. Too defiant. Too willing to question the invisible chains tightening around the island.
So the Federation decided to break them before they ever had the chance to unite against them.
The order they gave had been clear: eliminate members of the Regime. Escalate tensions. Push retaliation. Push fear. Push war.or
The North's greatest strength had always been their weakness too: they loved each other too much.
Love makes people predictable. Love makes people vulnerable. Love gives people pressure points.
The Federation has many ways of enforcing obedience.
This time, they choose Aldo's pressure point.
Unfortunately for Molly, she has always been his greatest weakness.
