Chronological Tuning

We've all experienced those baffling moments: a treasured item, placed in its usual spot, suddenly vanishes as if swallowed by space.

After you finally give up and accept its fate as “lost forever,” it reappears like a ghost, lying right where you swear you've searched countless times, mocking your memory.

Have you ever, in some ordinary moment, felt a shiver of alienation toward the most familiar home, street, or even beloved face?

As if your brain had been reset in an instant, making everything before your eyes seem fake and distant. Or, on the contrary, has a brand-new scene or conversation ever made you absolutely certain that you had experienced it before, down to every last detail?

Are there fifty-six ethnic groups and fifty-six kinds of flowers? Or fifty-six constellations and fifty-six kinds of flowers?

Do you... really believe in those so-called effects and explanations?

What if none of this is an illusion?

What if your memory hasn't betrayed you, and the world itself is bugged?

What if these seemingly minor glitches are subtle signs of a far more deadly malfunction deep within some vast system?

Then welcome to this world, orderly on the surface but seething beneath, where the rules at its very core could crack at any moment.

The cracks are spreading, and anomalies are quietly taking root. Our story begins in earnest with the tremors at the edge of perception.
