A light fantasy healing novella focusing on the inner plight of ordinary people. Five strangers in the city who did not know each other were simultaneously entangled in an unknown gray APP - the half-open gray eye icon lingered, and light gray threads quietly appeared on their wrists. At 2:17 in the morning, they fell into a different space called "Grayscale" together.
There are no ghosts here, only the pure white prison cell where you can see yourself, the division of labor workshop that tests people's hearts, and the echo corridor that echoes pain. Everyone must face their own faults hidden under the mask: middle-aged people in the workplace who steal the achievements of their children, utilitarian lawyers who rely on rules to hurt people, emergency doctors who close their hearts, high school students who are accustomed to blindly pleasing, and old fathers who restrain their sons with love.
The solo trials opened up their secret scars, and the team journey taught them to trust each other; they confessed their fears in the gray wasteland, listened to the voices of those they had hurt in the echo corridor, and the belated "I'm sorry" dissolved the gray threads entangled in their hearts.
At the end of the journey, two doors are in front of you: one is to forget the pain and remain in nothingness forever, and the other is to return to reality with scars. The five people finally chose to return to the world and no longer escape from the past. The mark quietly dissipated, and the gray eye that peered into people's hearts completely disappeared.
The so-called gray space is never a court of judgment, but a mirror. All living beings wear masks and carry heavy burdens. Only by facing the gray in the heart can we reconcile with ourselves and find our own warm sunshine in the ordinary fireworks.
