Private breeding of moons is prohibited in this city.
In particular, it is forbidden to keep the moon in the washtub, allowing it to rise in the middle of the night, causing the neighbors to lose sleep, or imitating the deceased's speech.
Tao Lingyi works at the Municipal Exceptions Approval Center, specializing in judging whether a miracle is dangerous, necessary, and whether it should be kept. In five years of employment, she has kept accurate records and handled matters rigorously, never missing a case.
Until an anomaly that had been filed reappeared, the center began to trial the "double closing system": it was not enough for the miracle to be resolved, the life of the person involved must also be restored before the case could truly be closed.
Since then, Tao Lingyi's reports began to be returned one by one by the Recovery Department. The moon has moved, but the owner still puts the empty washtub in front of the window late at night; the thunderclouds have settled, but the original owner started crying when he heard the weather forecast.
Meanwhile, private wonders in the city are growing. Things that have been confiscated, sealed, and terminated seem to be reappearing in another way.
Tao Lingyi followed a series of anomalies that could not be solved and found an old file that had been sealed for many years.
Application matters: Private moon body retention.
Applicant: Tao Lingyi.
Disposal result: terminated.
The system record at the bottom of the file reads——
Current status: Continuously running.
Purpose: Life is more than just survival. Desires deserve to be seen, and choices should also bear the cost.
