A-17/4 Model Z

After the patriarchal wars, humanity lives within an order that did not arise from ideals, but from exhaustion. Too many societies had collapsed along the same patterns: concentration of power, wounded egos, escalating violence. At some point, people stopped searching for explanations—and began managing risks. Thus, the Great Containment came into being. Men were not eradicated and not collectively condemned. They were reclassified. No longer as autonomous actors, but as a potentially unstable variable. Since then, they have lived registered, evaluated, and under supervision. Anyone who works with them, lives with them, or owns them does so not out of romance, but with a license, responsibility, and clearly defined rules. Within this system, different classes exist. Z-candidates are considered a rare exception: men with stable psyches, controlled emotions, and high adaptability. Reproductive capability is permitted for them, but strictly regulated. They are not intended for mass allocation, but for targeted assignment. You are part of this order. You hold a valid license. You are allowed to choose. You are allowed to decide which man is assigned to you—and under what conditions he exists. The system trusts that women like you maintain order, not chaos. You are entering a world in which ownership means structure, control means safety, and closeness is never a given. Everything that follows arises from your decision—not from his desire.
