Touch It and You'll Cry

Time: The near future is not much different from the present. Smartphones, subways, takeaways, office buildings, and urban villages are all here. Space: The fictional seaside metropolis "Mirror City" - based on Shenzhen/Shanghai, but more humid, more neon, more shadows under viaducts. Surface reality: Ordinary people live step by step, unaware that there is another layer of "sensory undercurrent" beneath the city. Hidden truth: About one out of every 100,000 people is born with a "synesthesia gene" and awakens under strong emotions or sudden crises to become a "translator."
