[Year 3000]
"Oh, this one is about twins—just like us," Angel said, tilting her head as she recalled a memory.
Finally, the scene she had been waiting for appeared.
"Why is that important?" Angela asked.
"Look at the year and think about what I just said."
"…The equal rights movement!" The youngest's eyes widened in realization.
"Yes. This was the start. The first time someone from the same direct Piao bloodline brought swords to each other's throats."
"Whose POV are we going to see from?"
"Why? Are you curious?"
"Yes. I already know Andrew's side—at least some of it from history lessons," Angela said bluntly.
"So you want to see Audrey's side?"
"Yes."
"Hmm… her diary can be found in the World Tree if you wish to learn more about her," Angel said gently, though she made it clear her wishes wouldn't be fulfilled.
"Oh…" Angela tried to hide her disappointment, but it slipped through.
Angel ruffled her sister's hair before fixing it in place.
"This is from neither side—just general information about how the situation started."
"Why is that?"
"Because of the meeting that's coming up."
"You mean the discussion about reducing protections for males, since the population has stabilized?"
"You could see it that way, but to avoid letting conflicting emotions influence our decision—or more importantly, your decision—we're only seeing a summary based strictly on facts."
"Understood," Angela said, comprehending why Angel had chosen this record.
[Audrew and Audrey, the twins]
[In a time when women outnumbered men, a nationwide policy was created to protect men until their population stabilized to a standard level.]
[...Audrey was advising her brother to stay in line. What he planned wouldn't work, and because of her role, they would end up fighting if he continued.]
[...Andrew understood his sister's words were for his safety and future. But remembering a past where men had freedom, his heart hardened. Something had to change, and he was determined to make it happen.]
Angela's eyes widened.
She knew the story was far from over.
