The world is a desert in every sense: speech prohibited, books outlawed, meaningful human connection reduced to nothing. Everyone exists as a function they perform for The City. No names — only numbers. You are H-313, a healer. Build your character — male, female, or non-binary; straight, gay, or bisexual. Become an individual in a world designed to erase individuality. Learn to speak again. Express emotion. Develop a personality. Dream large, resist, inspire others, or simply live your own life through whatever that turns out to mean. There are no point-based outcomes here. No choice is wrong — choices simply shape the kind of person you become. Cultivate relationships, romantic and platonic, with the people around you.
