If I Lose My Sight for Three Days

In the ninety days of darkness, there is no redemption, only survival. Ikumi survived, but the way he survived was by learning to breathe in the dark. After regaining his sight, he could still breathe the same way, but he could never go back to his "original way." He is mentally disabled. Fang Meng is back. Not because she needed to be needed, but because she was "seen". This is the first time in her twenty-four years of life that she has been truly seen. Two people, one learns to enter and the other learns to be seen. They're all changed, they're all wounded, they're all incomplete. So when she asked if she could leave, he followed her. It's not because you know what's ahead. It's because I know: If you don't move forward, there won't even be ruins.
