District 6 (F Corp.)
F Corp. is one of the 26 Wings of the City, overseeing District 6.
Overview
F Corp. was one of several Wings involved in the Smoke War, supporting Old L Corp. and ultimately being on the losing side of the Wing War.[1] Before the start of the war, F Corp. was a partner of Old L Corp. that often had their problems with the Wing and its energy production, which would cause experiments with further developing F Corp.'s Singularity to fail due to the lack of energy.[2] Despite these issues with the Wing, F Corp. still stood by it for reasons unknown, possibly out of a lack of trust in the potential New L Corp. or by having a deal of some sort with Old L Corp. that stood to benefit them.
Singularity
F Corp.'s Singularity are "Fairies" which can unlock anything, whether that be things that are "locked" physically or conceptually.[3] After unlocking something, the Fairy is drained of energy and must be recharged.[4] These Fairies are pocket sized, physical entities that enter keyholes and open the lock from the inside.[5][6] It is unknown how the Fairies "unlock" conceptual locks. The functionality of Fairies is determined by whether the lock attempting to be opened is attached something with can be opened, for example a door that is not intended to ever see use and thus functions as a wall cannot be unlocked or opened by a Fairy.[5]
Fairies are expensive to purchase and recharge,[4][6] but are considered necessary for many lines of work.[7] It appears as if there may be multiple products under the line of Fairies, such as the "All-purpose Unlocker Fairy".[7] It is unclear what differences may exist between Fairies, but F Corp. is interested in experimenting with them and expanding their capabilities.[2]

I used a Fairy I’d been keeping in the inner coat of my pocket and gave it another try. The steel door still refuses to move. That means this door isn’t a locked portal that leads to another space. This is functionally closer to a wall. It has been sealed from the outside, defined as a door that won’t ever see its intended use."
