Alexei Lastra's pious life fell to shambles after the world's first gate opened in his hometown, bringing with it chaos and destruction. Ten years later, Alexei lives like a ghost, puttering around his once lively apartment and watching the world pass him by from the safety of his third-story window.
Unable to move past the memory of what he witnessed that day, Alexei hasn't set foot outside his apartment building in ten years. The furthest he's managed to get is the neighbor's apartment for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. Each day is the same as the last— until he's forced to leave his apartment for jury duty, that is. Fearing arrest for neglecting his civic duty, he musters the courage to step back into society. Though a pit in his stomach tells him that he might be making a terrible mistake.
