Pale Logic

In the chrome-and-concrete grid of Ostend City, Dr. Julian Cross is a polymath who believes human consciousness is a flaw to be debugged. He orchestrates three "experimental" murders—each a flawless exercise in probability and misdirection—to prove that morality is merely a neurological glitch. But when the legal machine grinds into motion, he discovers that the system he outsmarted doesn't care about truth; it cares about verdicts. His perfect alibis become cages, and the one witness he overlooked—a janitor with a dying daughter—forces him to confront a question no equation can solve: is mercy a weakness, or the only resistance against a world that runs on cold procedure?
