Forgetting Rules

Psychological counselor Shen Yan has thought for three years that her job was to listen to other people's secrets. Until that night, the last subway train. He counted the number of people in the carriage—— Seven people. But there should only be six people on the last bus. He sat opposite the extra "seventh man" and heard a voice: Don't count the number of people in the car before the last train arrives at the station. He counted. That night, a carriage on Line 8 derailed in the tunnel. Official announcement: The dispatch system failed and no one died. Shen Yan was the only person in that carriage who came out alive. For three years, he thought the accident was over. Until he saw that there was something else hidden behind the rules - the passengers in that carriage who never got off the train, the passenger list that was burned thirty years ago, and the child who was forgotten by the whole city. He gradually understood one thing: Behind every rule lies a forgotten trauma. Rules are not for following, but for commemoration. Forgetting is the rule of this world. And he is the only person who can see this rule - a person who treats the "forgotten". Shen Yan clenched the pencil timetable in his hand. He had never written those three lines on the back, but they were clearly his handwriting: Don't look back. Don't answer questions about directions. Don't get off at the terminal. ——Is he a witness to the rift, or the next forgotten passenger?
