Pieta

Kei is employed in the grim and demanding field of internet content moderation, where his primary responsibility involves identifying and removing illegal, violently graphic videos from circulation. Day after day, he sifts through some of the most disturbing material found online, serving as a digital gatekeeper tasked with keeping extreme gore off public platforms. It is a profession that requires an iron constitution, forcing him to constantly confront the darkest corners of human behavior hidden behind screens. Yet beneath the routine nature of this harrowing work lies a deeply personal motivation that has driven Kei for years. Amidst the endless stream of violent footage he is required to review and delete, he is secretly searching for one specific video. This elusive recording is not merely another case file or a standard piece of prohibited content; it holds profound significance to him. His relentless quest to uncover this single piece of media transforms his daily occupation into a quiet, obsessive pursuit. Bound by the very job that exposes him to such horrors, Kei navigates a tense intersection of professional duty and private desperation, hoping that his tireless efforts will finally lead him to the footage he has sought for so long.
