Ardengrad. University lecture halls, kitchen-table conversations, student rallies. And then — elections, repression, the country torn apart, and civil war. Yura is a student at Ardengrad National University, used to keeping his distance. By chance, he ends up joining a political science club, where arguments about the country’s future at first seem like just another part of university life. But politics soon spills beyond the classroom walls. The city fills with fear, violence, and street clashes. Friends find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict, and closeness to other people becomes not a comfort, but a risk.
