While there are some details I am still uncertain about. Such as the protagonist's past relations with the antagonists in question (did he work as a human trafficker with them at one point or something to this effect?), and why he pointed a gun at the teddy-bear in the first part; this was a superb series overall.

I greatly liked the minimalism it showed in regards to art-design. The silhouette design gave it a unique flair I don't see very often. The story kept me interested and engaged up to the end, and the reveal in this act did surprise me, as i expected this to be a matter of military affairs. Something he did in the past as a soldier that he wants to seek absolution for.

Only complaint I can offer is that, while the note on the wall is both amusing and entirely accurate, I felt it did detract from the atmosphere the story was attempting to convey. Other than that, I look forward to what else you may produce on here.

(though if you have the time, do you mind explaining to me the two points I brought up? I'm a little in the dark.)

Hello and thank you for watching!

My intent was to show that he once was military, and after his discharge he became a human trafficker, albeit the job conflicted with his morals. How he ended up there is open, but I consider his old wartime buddy (The Overseer) offered him work and he didn't understand what the work was until he got there.

As for pointing a gun at a teddy bear, I legit just considered the man a tad on the crazy side and prone to visions. The toy itself even hypnotized the mustache guy and might have had something to do with it. Consider this moment not really explainable, definitively. If I were ever to make a new series I could elaborate.

And the sign was out of place, I admit. I did it for a chuckle.

perfect story, you must do anime or catoon series.

This was a beautifully told story.

I'm looking forward to your future projects, keep it up!
