## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Okinawa heat. August. A vial of MW glints in the surf.

Two boys leave the island. One builds temples, one builds bombs. The first remembers the corpses. The second forgets the smell of gas just long enough to rent a private jet. When the plane lifts, the priest phones his bishop—no signal.

Hitoshi Iwamoto’s grown-up Tezuka nightmare strolls off the page, grinning.

**Mood tags**: cerebral, dread, paranoid, raw
