Her high school classmates least of all.

But they didn't know that after Lin Lan "died," she returned to that day ten years ago.

Her best friend had fallen to her death.

And she was standing below.

*Important: 1. This is a dark story. It's not lighthearted, so read with care. The main text is in first person.

2. Before (if) it gets on the rankings, updates will be irregular. It won't be serialized behind a paywall.

3. The writing style is unconventional and may be somewhat stream-of-consciousness.

The author writes on a whim, so please bear with me.

I love this subject, but I probably don't have the skill to do it justice.

The author is an illiterate hack. Please make do.

This is entirely fictional, with no real-life inspiration.

A short story, expected to be around 100,000 to 200,000 characters.

It contains many elements, as reflected in the tags.

The main focus is mystery x redemption x school life. There may be relationships of all kinds, including but not limited to friendship, romance, and family bonds.

Applause and jeers are both better than silence.

Thank you to everyone who reads, bookmarks, and comments.
