Taking a break from reading *Eisenhorn #1* and diving into a shorter story turned out to be a great decision. At first, I expected it to be nothing more than filler, but it surprised me with its depth. The story tackled a very real topic in a way that felt grounded, even if it was presented in a hyperbolic fashion. The unique themes is refreshing and gave the story a weight I didn’t anticipate. Overall, it was a highly satisfying read.
