In a society where freedom is so vigorously curtailed that people are even afraid to speak to one another, life can quickly become meaningless. Most turn to the pursuit of pleasure, as a life goal. A few who are not driven to excess still pursue pleasure, but in a less self-destructive manner. Their aim is to enjoy the simple renewable pleasures of everyday life; a refuge from the oppressive control of The Church-State.
Zallo is such a person. He believes the global oppression of people is unacceptable. He is susceptible to other forces in the society other than the compulsion to create, which originate from a clandestine organisation of Ghosts. He has always dreamt that one day he could contribute to the freeing of society from The Church-State as a Ghost.
Problems arise that he is not equipped to handle. Nevertheless, Zallo is able to pursue the simple pleasurable moments of his existence, to the very end.
