The Understory's Silenced Bells
In The Understory, where brass bands once echoed through narrow passages and street muralists claimed every available wall, a coordinated suppression has taken hold. The Frontier Shadows—operating from their northern stronghold—have begun enforcing aesthetic conformity, shutting down informal performances, confiscating instruments, and painting over murals with gray primer. Yusuf Akoto, already fighting to maintain independence in these tunnels, now watches artists and musicians disappear into interrogation rooms while the district's cultural lifeblood drains away.
