"I thought:
Sadness is weakness,
Anger is a sin,
Fear is cowardice,
Love is a shackle.
"Until I saw,
Denial becomes a monster,
The repressed self is fragmented.
"It turns out——
All emotions are light,
It's just us,
Keep your eyes closed. "
When he was seventeen years old, Lin Xun saw the monster for the first time.
It lay on the top of the classmate's head, its tentacles piercing the back of the head, sucking and sucking, the golden happiness was turned into gray fatigue. No one else can see it. Only him.
From that day on, the marks on his palms began to feel hot. A note that appeared out of thin air contained a line of dark red words: "You can finally see it." A man in a trench coat stopped him at the alley: "Your father is an emotional hunter - and the strongest one among us."
Lin Xun thought he was awakening. Until he discovered that the bottomless hole in his palm was not his at all.
That was the sadness his father had hidden away for three years.
Suppressed emotions become phagocytosis, and the pain of denial consumes itself. In this city, some people are cultivating monsters in batches, and some people want to merge everyone's emotions into the same "love". Lin Xun must enter the darkest inner world and catch the despair that others cannot bear - every "seeing" will make the light in the palm of his hand brighter and bring him one step closer to sinking.
But he went anyway.
Because he finally understood: You don't need to eliminate pain. You just need to see it.
