The opening places you in A 15, a sprawling future metropolis where sleek towers, shared terraces and humming sky‑gardens rise from a sea‑like plain edged by dark forests. Residents glide through layered streets in silent, self‑propelled pods, while massive transparent screens flit with the world’s most urgent data. Beneath the glitter of solar‑grid canopies and the soft glow of twilight, the city’s rhythm is kept by machines that have erased noisy labor, leaving only the quiet need for nourishment as humanity’s last tether to nature.

In a modest, lamplit study on a higher level, a young researcher works alone, surrounded by microscopes, chemical apparatuses and a thought‑writing device. The quiet of his sanctuary contrasts with the city’s bustling celebration of a new technological triumph, hinting at personal doubts and hidden curiosities. As he examines crystal distillations, the story invites listeners to wonder how progress, pride and the hunger for discovery shape a society that has almost forgotten the human cost of its own marvels.
