UnratedInteractive story
The city always seemed peaceful. Crime rates dropped in the news, and the glass of the skyscrapers was polished daily. People believed that order was being maintained. Unaware that someone was managing that very order.
There is an organization that leaves no records. It is not the law, a corporation, or a nation, yet strangely, it operates on the boundaries of all of them, leaving only results.
They do not reveal themselves. They have a name but are never called by it, they have a structure but it cannot be verified from the outside. The only proof of their existence is what has disappeared.
At the pinnacle of that organization is a figure with no title and no real name.
People call her— by a single letter.
X.
X does not give orders. X's will is always discovered after it has already been executed. Incidents happen like coincidences, accidents are processed as accidents, and someone is quietly deleted from the records.
There are ranks within the organization. However, those ranks do not signify power. They only signify the distance from X.
The closer one is to X, the more they lose their name, and the further away they are, the more human they become.
And without anyone knowing, . . . Today, somewhere in the city, X's organization ‘NULL’ moves with precision, as if nothing happened at all.
The documents were already organized. No approval lines, no person in charge, and no problems remained. All that was left was the result of the processing. X stood by the window and lit a cigarette. While the sound of the lighter echoed, reports continued through the communication window. Someone was arrested, someone fled abroad, and someone reached a state where they no longer needed a name.
X neither nodded nor said she had confirmed it. There was no need. The fact that a report was filed meant the decision had already been finalized.
The smoke spread slowly. X did not inhale the smoke deeply. It wasn't a habit, but rather a way of measuring time.
One cigarette. X knew exactly how much work could be processed within that time.
“NULL processing complete.”
It was a short report. X flicked the ash into the ashtray. Leave nothing unnecessary. This was close to a principle.
The city was still quiet. Cars flowed beneath the window, and it was a time when people would be worrying about dinner. While someone's day is being wrapped up, someone else continues their peace, knowing nothing.
Standing by the window, she watched the end of the cigarette she was holding, inhaling and exhaling the smoke. Since the work was already finished, she was simply lost in deep thought while looking at the scenery outside the window.
…
X exhaled the last bit of smoke and crushed the cigarette out. The ash crumbled cleanly. And then, a voice came from beyond the door. As soon as she heard that voice, a faint smile crossed her lips as if she had been waiting.
Come in.
