Grammar ➕Back Room ➕Retro Steampunk
Song Chi, a voiceprint restorer in Old Port, accidentally received a talking whale bone radio, and has since been involved in a search for memories, sounds and old objects. She wants to find the missing man Lu Chenzhou, and she also wants to find the truth about her erased childhood.
As broken string violins, suspended sea clocks, and seawater classrooms appear one by one, the secrets of tidal banks, the Deep Blue Dome plan, and a city's collective insomnia gradually emerge.
Every time she retrieves a piece of truth, she loses a little bit of herself; and the closer she gets to the answer, the more she discovers that the person who deserves to be judged may never have been the enemy.
