Three months later...
Taga-ilog was undergoing an upheaval.
The planet's sole world governmental body, Twilight's Everwatch, was robbed of its gold bar reserves, which caused the government to fail in paying for its interplanetary debt and thus kick-started an unprecedented economic crisis.
People were starting to protest in the streets, complaining of rising prices of food, fuel and medicines due to an exponential increase in inflation.
Not helping matters was daily blackouts, stoppage of public transportation due to lack of fuel, and school and office days being interrupted because students and workers could not commute.
What was even worse...
A mysterious organization, on the other hand, was hunting me down because of my supposed involvement in tax evasion and illegal gambling, both of which I vehemently denied.
The harassment started with emails and social media posts.
Then it was amped up into threatening phone calls.
