A Thousand Lights

The serial murder case "City Ablaze" has returned to District B after ten years. Watch as the embodiment of justice brings the criminals to the law.

After every thirteen victims, the criminals set off a massive wave of arson across the entire city, hence the name "City Ablaze."

The story takes place in a fictional world unlike our country, so many things differ from reality. That's normal. Many things depicted here wouldn't be permitted in our country.

The country where most of the story takes place is multicultural, with people of many ethnicities and skin colors. So it's perfectly normal for characters to have transliterated names in Chinese, English, Japanese, Russian, and other languages.

The currency is something I just made up.

The laws in the story differ from reality, and the country's political structure is somewhat complicated. I'll flesh it out later. It might be a federation, with each district equivalent to a state, and with various checks and balances. But it isn't anything like a widely known system. It's extremely diverse. Do not use reality as a reference; it has absolutely no relevance here! Don't ask what conditions could give rise to a world like this, either. I'm not a sociologist. Our country is socialist. Don't imitate anything bad. Let's work together to build a better society, and obey our constitution and laws.

Theme: "Clearly, you have grown accustomed to smiling faces, but a smiling face is still a mask. Beware this weakness of your conscience: the world is full of vanity and delusion, so don't let yourself be moved too deeply." Crack down on crime and evil.
