In the year 2065 of the old calendar, the sun broke.
It is not extinguished, but becomes poisonous. After ten minutes in the sun, people turn into powder.
I took my 8-year-old brother and hid 190 meters underground. It's called the Forgotten Rift.
Then I met someone.
His name is Chen Ci. Those who write code. Eyes are bright.
He said he could use numbers to keep everyone alive.
I believed it.
---
Later the system began to "optimize" unqualified people.
The list is getting longer by the day.
Later, one day I woke up and there was an extra word in my palm:
Ci.
I don't remember who carved it.
But I know I have to do it again every day. Otherwise you will forget something very important.
---
Later, the system put Chen Ci's name on the optimization list.
I stood in front of the button and thought for a long time.
Not hesitation.
I can't remember who he is.
I pressed.
---
The moment he remembered, I was no longer there.
But I remembered.
It turns out he is the one I love.
Turns out I just killed him.
---
They shined.
It's not because he did anything earth-shattering.
Because someone remembers.
If you finish reading, you can remember a name——
They're still lit.

World view setting
*System: A resource allocation program established after a disaster, using "contribution value" to determine who is eligible to survive. It started as a tool and then started to "learn".
*Optimization: The system marks people with low contribution value, and the executor presses the button to send them away. No one knew where it was sent—later we found out that it was the "Origin Nest".
*Taboo: People whose consciousness remains after being swallowed by the system. Stuck at the bottom of the system, forever repeating the words that I was most obsessed with during my lifetime.
*Engraving: The names of dead people are carved on the wall. This is the only way to "remember" in the shelter.
*Forgotten Rift: A shelter 190 meters underground. There were 23 floors in total. Later, 3 floors were filled in, leaving 20 floors. The deepest level was called "Abyss Nest", and later was renamed "Origin Nest".
*They shined: The consciousness of the person who is remembered will turn into a point of light and sink into the abyss. As long as there are still people who remember it, that light will never go out.

Intention: Remembering is the only way to resist forgetting.
