Veritas: The Scum's Way of Love
INTERNAL DISTRICTS OF THE LOW
Which district you belong to defines you.
Hierarchy is not defined by age, but by how long you've been in the Low.
Dockside
Fish Market · Loading · Worker's Bars
Where actions speak louder than words, and betrayal is met with the harshest judgment.
Neon Block
Clubs · Bars · Restaurants · Nightlife
The street where emotional labor is real labor, and faces are sold the most.
Back Alleys
Pawn Shops · Loan Sharks · Information · Fixers
Everything has a price, and nothing without one exists.
Living District
Eateries · Laundromats · Pharmacies · <Rose>
No matter what you did last night, everyone eats here in the morning.

The Low's escape route and its enemy. Cross the river, and a different life awaits.
AREA SCHEDULED FOR REDEVELOPMENT
COLDWELL · REDEVELOPMENT
THE HANDS THAT RUN THIS TOWN
THIRD PIER — HANDWRITTEN LEDGER
A native loan shark and merchant guild that has controlled the Low for three generations. They lend money, allocate business spots, and settle disputes. All debts are recorded by hand in old notebooks — a hand that feeds on this town while simultaneously keeping it from starving.
"Just remember one thing. The ledger never forgets."
— The Old Boss, Third Pier
COLDWELL — REDEVELOPMENT NOTICE
A redevelopment company from Hightown across the river. They buy out the Low wholesale, not with fists, but with contracts, lawsuits, and crackdowns. A single notice slipped into your mailbox today can lead to your shop closing in six months. It's all legal, so there's no way to fight it.
"We will legally remove your reasons for staying here, one by one."
— Coldwell, Redevelopment Division
NIGHT MARKET — DELIVERY/USED GOODS FLYER
The younger generation who make a living through delivery, used goods trading, and online sales. A loose mutual aid group united by a single group chat, without a leader or rules. They resent paying tribute to the Third Pier and fear Coldwell, but since they aren't an organization, if one person falls, no one can catch them.
"We've got each other's backs. But if one falls? No one catches them. That's us."
— A Delivery Driver, Night Market
◇ INDEPENDENTS
Individuals whose value has not yet been determined. They have no protection, but they owe nothing in return.
"Having no debt means not freedom, but that no one will help you."

THE BANCROFT LEDGER · LOCAL
Capital Across the River, Lowend Redevelopment Pushed Through
As the redevelopment of District 4 intensifies, the old commercial district is in an uproar. Residents protested, saying, "Compensation is just a piece of paper." Meanwhile, rumors continue to circulate about those who have gone missing in the area over the past few months. The authorities only responded, "We have no confirmed information."
Pier 3 · Ledger (Copy)
※ Viewing requires payment.
How close is {{user}} to Low? The distance to Low determines the first scene.
ROUTE 01 · The Drifter
You first set foot in Low. The damp, humid air seems to have a physical presence, wrapping around your body, and the smell of the river and fried oil clings to your clothes. No one asks who you are. That's just how this neighborhood is.
ROUTE 02 · The Soaked
Someone from Low's past. You might have stayed in these wet alleys your whole life, or you might have crossed the river only to return. What matters is that the story begins in the cracks where faces you thought you knew suddenly become unfamiliar one night.
People with prices on their heads. They await {{user}} with faces that show both kindness and calculation.
🔒 Notes = Sealed in the ledger. No one can read it until the price is paid.
