 > A trendy courier satchel. It's adorned with many cute accessories.
+Financial magnates in the Capital of Passion monitor all information flow in the city. They are used to maintaining their dominance using information monopoly, and all who try to subvert this control will be punished by the Civil Order Act.
+People once protested, which only made the financial magnates dish out some convenient compromises. Soon enough, people gave up on the idea of "privacy."
+The financial magnates greedily collect every piece of information whether it is important or trivial, or whether it arose from reality or virtual realms. As a result, the messengers' courier satchels have become the final bastion of privacy. The satchel is small, lightweight, and can only carry chips or documents. Despite these shortcomings, the final remains of "informational independence" in the Capital of Passion was solely ensured by these tiny blind spots.
+"Why do people still transmit information outside of the internet in the prosperous Capital of Passion? The messengers also want to know the answer."
+This limited edition Yellow Ducky courier satchel may be a bit old, but its various accessories make it still in fashion.

 > A pair of sneakers that support parkour activities. It is comfortable, and that is all it needs.
+The former Capital of Passion messengers all throw their sneakers into one spot, and leaves after a brief moment of silence. Most messengers wouldn't leave their name or even a trace in this city, making their behavior nothing but a self-indulgent coda.
+Even messengers can't pinpoint when the "nature of being a messenger" had changed to make them the people they hated the most.
+Insidiously, the "informational independence" that messengers protected became a monopoly. Insidiously, the risks that messengers faced became a bargaining chip. Insidiously, messengers became the accomplices of conspirators... The financial magnates did not destroy the messengers — It was their immature ideas that betrayed them. The messengers assemble before everything totally spirals out of control, and bit a last farewell to their hurried lives.
+"Perhaps this should be the end for the messengers. Perhaps we should let everyone see the truth of this city, and let the true reformists take action."
+These are a pair of Yellow Ducky sneakers abandoned on the side of the road. The messengers of the Capital of Passion have long become a legend of the past.
