The world

Six people recur across the series. Everyone else appears once and is never seen again. Nothing on this page tells you what becomes of any of them.

The six

Six cities, six lives that mostly never touch. Listed in the order the series introduces them.

Six dilemmas

Every episode turns on one of these. Each is a choice with no clean answer, and the series does not supply one.

  • TruthvsPeace

  • OnevsMany

  • NowvsLater

  • OrdinarinessvsHonesty

  • RolevsPerson

  • ControlvsTrust

Seven kinds of people

Every story is built around one of seven positions a person can occupy once the number above them stops feeling abstract.

  • Ordinary person
  • Expert
  • Caregiver
  • Builder
  • Truth-seeker

  • Witness
