Felony

Vogel is a hard‑nosed production manager whose life is built on exactness and control. From childhood puzzles to battlefield horrors, he has turned every challenge into a cold, calculated triumph. At thirty‑five he runs Sachs Fixtures with an iron grip, instantly seeing the hidden costs and timing of any assembly line. His reputation for ruthless efficiency makes his workers both fear and respect him.

When a desperate hiring request brings Amenth—a slight, amber‑eyed newcomer with no experience but an uncanny knack for shop work—Vogel’s skepticism turns to fascination. Amenth’s frantic speed and instinctive revisions on a critical part save the company a surprising amount of money, yet his unorthodox methods clash with Vogel’s strict procedures. The manager watches the strange talent with a mix of irritation and reluctant admiration, wondering whether this odd prodigy is a hidden asset or a looming threat.

As the two men’s rivalry sharpens, the factory’s rhythm is subtly altered. Vogel must decide whether to harness Amenth’s mysterious aptitude or to crush the anomaly that threatens his meticulously ordered world.
