The term "complicity" has been employed in literature to evoke a range of connotations—from the subtle and playful to the overtly criminal. In some works, it suggests an unspoken, almost conspiratorial rapport between individuals, as when a genial glance hints at shared secrets or understandings ([1], [2]). In other contexts, it takes on a more juridical or historical dimension, describing involvement in conspiracies or crimes, whether in the realm of political intrigue and betrayal ([3], [4], [5], [6]) or in legal examinations of guilt and responsibility ([7], [8], [9]). Additionally, complicity can imply a state of being drawn into or burdened by events, sometimes involuntarily, as seen in scenarios of unwanted association ([10], [11], [12]). Across these varied examples, authors harness the word to underline the complex, often ambiguous interplay between individual agency and collective complicity, serving both as a narrative device and as an analytical tool in dissecting moral, social, and legal dilemmas ([13], [14], [15], [16], [17]).
