Part 7/8:
As external factors merge with internal decay, Mark's resolve is tested. The loss of his son in the midst of a plague of manipulation, deceit, and outright violence precipitates a climactic conflict. A tale filled with political metaphors, the characters entwined in power struggles reflect societal dynamics that resonate deeply: the moral ambiguity of survival, the lengths individuals will go to secure their place, and the shattering consequences of totalitarian ruling.
