Justice Judgment 2069

Apology: While researching today, I discovered an error in my Bible citation. I've always used the Protestant Union Version of the Bible, but the established understanding is that priests are Catholic and generally use the Catholic Bible (specifically the Revised Standard Version). I apologize for my lack of rigor. However, after comparison, I found the Union Version to be more powerful, so I've decided to acknowledge the error but not correct it.

Well written, the plot is tight, and it was written with care. Thumbs up to the author!

While writing this story, EGOIST's "DOOR" became a song I listened to on repeat; it was really good.

The next story, "Transformation," will be released in early September.

Budvis Budva refers to Budweiser from its country of origin. What a tongue-twisting name! The drinking scene and dialogue pay homage to Project Itoh's *Genocidal Organ*, an author I greatly admire, who sadly died young.

The original meaning of this verse in Deuteronomy is that freed slaves should not be neglected; they should be given food and money. Here, the meaning has been extended, and readers can interpret it however they wish. Also, the color of Schopenhauer's robes is related to the Christian holiday cycle; those interested can search for it—a little-known tidbit of information.

The next story, "The Apostle's Roulette," is a story temporarily inserted into the timeline. It will be updated in mid-to-late August.

While writing this volume of stories, the melody of "Nessun Dorma" from Turandot kept echoing in my mind, but I didn't quote it at all, yet the sense of sorrow remained the same.

The next story, "The Flower of the Evening," will be released in August. Here's a song by EGOIST, "Fallen," for a few readers who regularly click on this page late at night, morning, and afternoon.

I'm posting this chapter today by chance, but I still want to offer my condolences for this real-life tragedy.
