in this dystopian future where social classes
are constructed so that society keeps working
to support a secret corporation that runs everything
the lowest class is heavily controlled, and
petty crimes that increase their welfare
(stealing bread, being lent money by the upper class) are heavily enforced
their savior is a young man who calls himself
“Guardian Angel”
he is obsessively pursued by the corporation’s top enforcer Saul.
Guardian Angel never reveals his identity, and
appears to have come from no where. He only
ever speaks in Latin, quoting the Bible, or singing traditional hymns.
finally
Saul confronts him, he wants to know why he does it, why disrupt a system, though corrupt, that is keeping humanity successful?
The boy refuses to answer,
Saul uncovers his plot to destroy the corporations headquarters, disrupting the system permanently
the two have a final confrontation
Saul is repentant, but begs the boy not go through with what he is doing
he simply activates the bomb
it begins counting down
Saul shoots the boy with his weapon,
a gun used by all enforcers
the first 3 shots are just stun wires of varying power,
because usually the suspect should be apprehended without killing.
the rest are bullet rounds, and Saul warns him
but the boy just keeps walking towards him
singing the Ave Maris Stella
several rounds go through before he begins to collapse,
Saul gently cradles him to the floor, but he is still singing
his last breath on the verse,
“Felix caeli porta.”
