In the City of Lanterns, every person carries a flame. The brighter the lantern, the more admired the life.

Jack has spent years becoming one of the brightest men in the city: respected, disciplined, indispensable. But beneath the glow of achievement lies a quiet sickness no one wants to name.

This is a modern parable about ambition, identity, exhaustion, and the dangerous belief that human worth must be earned through endless productivity.
