The Committee for Silent Grief: Emotion Is Restricted™

The city is a body that outlawed grieving, and its walls have learned to weep for us. Aethel converts sorrow into contraband KPI, until a compliance savant becomes the conduit that destabilizes optimization with feeling.

Weaponizes architectural memory to recode infrastructure as a sentient archive and turns emotional repression into market logic. Reframes GDP as a morality engine, indicting efficiency by tying prosperity to sterilization. Harmonizes procedural urgency with cerebral horror to deliver premium, exportable myth. Scales across limited series, graphic novel line, and companion documentary, with franchise elasticity via “Memory Inoculation” and origin-cycle prequels.
