Abstract
Abstract? Summary? Dude, I’ve got no time to explain: 24 hours a day is already too little - no need to waste it any further. We need time to do the laundry, time to ride the metro, time to study, time to work. Add “time to defeat all the demons” to the list in case you work at the bureau of national security from the Chainsaw-man manga series. Throughout the story a highly relatable dilemma unfolds. I invite you to look at it through the lens of urban sociology and thus find a new - more practical, but less hopeful - answer.
