dives into dystopian themes reminiscent of Orwell's 1984. In a future where an authoritarian form of communism tightly controls society, Tsunemori Akane stands as a symbol of unwavering dedication and optimism. Initially, she fully supports the Sybil System's promise of peace and harmony. However, as she transitions into her role as an investigator, she encounters terrorists who challenge the system's moral integrity.
Through the story, Akane confronts the ethical dilemmas of preemptive justice and begins to question the very foundations of the society she once believed in. In the climax, she faces the Sybil System head-on but chooses a unique path. Instead of destroying or blindly obeying the system, Akane resolves to protect the citizens using the system's capabilities while intervening when humanity is at risk. This nuanced stance reflects her name, Tsunemori Akane (常 守 朱), symbolizing "ever-guarding-red."
