In psychology, there is a questionnaire designed specifically to explore people's emotional understanding and personal boundaries in relationships. Its first core question is: Which kind of betrayal can you least tolerate in a relationship?
The moment the psychologist asked Lin Yiyue, he picked B without a second thought.
“Being abandoned when I need someone most.”
A Sentinel can form a mental bond with only one Guide in their lifetime. Artificial Sentinels need a Guide's company during their periods of frenzy even more than ordinary Sentinels do, but his Guide chose to leave him on the very day his frenzy began.
And stayed gone for four years.
On Lin Yiyue's twenty-seventh birthday, four years later, he received word that Ji Siheng had been detained in the organization's interrogation room. Still resentful about what had happened back then, and unable to understand why Ji Siheng had left him, Lin went to the interrogation room determined to get answers.
But something went wrong along the way. When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated twenty years into the past, to a time before any of it had happened.
Without a second thought, he first rescued the pitiful young Ji Siheng, who had been imprisoned in an arena and forced to serve as a plaything for the powerful. Then he turned back to save his younger self, who had been taken by the “Cage” for experiments, only to see Ji Siheng blow up the Cage's laboratory with explosives.
Memory is a house on fire, home to the shadows we can least bear to lose. Lin Yiyue stood amid the blazing fire, letting the flames lick his flesh, waiting for the wildfire to burn away his obsession. But the warmth always fades faster than the memories.
