After leaving home with relatives at the age of seventeen, Zhu Fu Jingguang discovered that he couldn't rely on his own memories. They were like a light bulb that had gone unreplaced for years, or like being trapped in an operating room with no way out.
So he chose to write things down:
[Remember to keep clean. Put up with the smell of canned herring.]
[You promised Big Brother Takaaki you'd listen to him and take good care of yourself.]
[Remember to attend the police academy with Zero someday.]
[Don't disturb...]
The next day, he found his notes scribbled over beyond recognition.
There was one new sentence, written in a hand that looked a lot like his own:
[You must escape the crows!]
He tilted his head. What did that mean?
Theme: He lives in the shadows.
