Banal Border Vice

In the mist-choked White Birch Forest that forms the de facto border between the Republic of Higashino and the Goryeo Federation, patrol officer Hayashida Kenichi encounters an evil far more unsettling than gun-toting smugglers. As a historic war retrial case reignites old hatreds, his quiet, methodical descent into corruption—aiding drug and weapon traffickers while still clocking in dutifully each morning—exposes how the most dangerous monsters are those who justify their sins as mere survival. Von Schirach-style legal coolness meets the suffocating fog of banal evil.
