Granary — The Ambar

Deep inside a colossal metal pipe called Granary — the "Ambar" — rats live as slaves. The System makes them dig, feeds them crumbs, and throws the weak into a bottomless pit it calls "Cleansing." But one day, Murid discovers a forbidden scent in a guardian's hand: peanut butter. That smell has a name, and that name is the elites' secret. At the bottom of hell, a single question echoes: is that scent a chain — or a door to freedom?
