Eight chapters in and I'm already annoyed by how utterly contrived this is. I thought the author wanted to tell a story about the short-sighted nature of suicide, but apparently it's just an excuse to make the protagonist plod through a sadistic Rube Goldberg machine of misfortunes while...
I like how the author tried to imply that a government prioritizing a nationwide blackout over the deaths of a dozen citizens is somehow a bad thing. ?????????????
250 km/h = 69 m/s
That's way too slow.
250m/s would be closer to bullet speed, but I doubt the damage would be anything more than a puncture hole.
Maybe a mistranslation????
