Top-tier mind games / logic / romance (a slow-burn story). That's all. If you don't like thinking, or aren't very good at it, you'd better not read this. (A slow-burn story means the big moments come later. If you don't understand it or don't have the patience to feel it out, don't bother reading.)
Fuck, this city keeps losing things. No, not losing them. They're being changed. A stretch of road, a shop, a building. Overnight, everyone changes their story at the same time: that place never existed.
I'm responsible for clearing out the "anomalies" that create these things. Like the last train, which enters the station by itself after midnight. Or an extra bedroom in someone's home, with a phone charging by the bed and contacts saved as "Dad" and "Mom"... even though that couple never had a son.
I've been chasing this for six years, through hundreds of bizarre cases. They're all linked to the same hand.
Then I requested a handwriting comparison. Sample one: a strange signature. Sample two: my own signature.
What was the result? Give me a moment to think.
