I like this character even more!

I'm reminded of a story idea I had a while back called The Cage of Saturn, which revolves around a guy who's just been released from the titular cage, which is a huge cube-shaped prison orbiting Saturn. There's no escape because each prisoner's cubic cell is surrounded by vacuum. I can imagine life in the Cage is not dissimilar to life on your Lunis One. I've only written the intro so far (https://inadifferentplace.substack.com/p/the-cage-of-saturn-intro?r=2s9hod), though. I'm sure I'll return to it at some point and fit it into the timeline of my dystopian serial (which does make an oblique reference to the Cage very early on).

Cheers :-)

Just read Cage of Saturn and wanted to read more. I think 'life' on Lunis-One is more communal from what I understand of the Cage. Both are chilling.
