Wen Wushang only discovered after starting high school that his childhood memories were practically a blank page. He could remember only a few vague fragments.
His mother jumping into the sea, a boy's figure, and arms always covered in bruises.
He remembered nothing else.
He was lost during that period and tried many things: writing, pottery, and painting. A few words he jotted down on a whim eventually made him a prodigy author in Gangdao City.
Back then, he considered becoming a writer, but his PTSD kept getting worse. With no choice, he returned to his hometown to search for his childhood and the source of his PTSD.
He wanted to find the father who had never appeared in his memories, the truth behind his mother's jump into the sea, and... the blurry figure he remembered.
Later, he recalled a conversation.
"Stay alive."
"...What about you?"
"When you see the first white leaf of autumn, I'll be back."
So he had waited until now.
Quietly, amid the sea of people, he searched for traces of him. In the end, he saw that leaf, and knew that at last he had found him.
