Kino and Hermes have finally arrived at their destination after a long journey. They find themselves in a beautiful and clean country with many skyscrapers. However, unlike other places they've visited so far, the landscape is unique. The countryside looks like farmland but appears abandoned, filled with old and damaged buildings. On the other hand, the city is hidden within a mountain and is generated by advanced technology. It focuses on healthcare, strict hygiene regulations, and aims to make its citizens healthy. Despite being in a beautiful environment, Kino feels uneasy due to the peculiar smell of the town's air and the absence of birds flying in the skies, adding mystery and dizziness to the scenery. As an experienced traveler, Kino knows that appearances can be deceiving, so they may not have initially expected what they found.
