In the fractured realm of Chronopolis - governed by a council of 'Brutes' led by the increasingly paranoid Chief Brute - time isn't merely measured; it's meticulously manipulated for political gain. Policies are signed with chilling efficiency, citizens are reduced to data points, and the night itself is deemed a threat to order. The loyalists, now represented by melancholic, yarn-draped sheep, embody a quiet despair, their bleating a lament for lost moments.
Father Time, weary from millennia of observation, recognizes that Chief Brute's obsession isn't just about control; it's a symptom of a deeper malaise - the erosion of empathy and critical thought. When Brute attempts to permanently alter his own temporal existence, he inadvertently triggers a cascade of consequences, forcing Father Time to confront not only the brutish regime but also the unsettling truth that even time itself can be corrupted.
This is a story about the dangers of unchecked authority, the fragility of memory, and the enduring need for resistance - however subtle.
