City Cicada

"From the moment I was born, I've had the same dream every day, where the same day repeats itself endlessly."
"What did you do in your dream?"
"Robbed banks, blew up buildings, flirted with girls, joyrode in luxury cars... Since it was a dream, naturally, I did a lot of lawless things."
"Tell me about your dream last night."
"Yesterday was quite interesting. After dreaming for so long, it was the first time I dreamed about someone I know in real life. She was a very beautiful girl..."
"Mhm."
The police officer Uncle nodded as he took notes:
"Keep going, I'm listening."

"[Memory is different from a movie clip because memory itself carries emotions.]"


"Just like you're unwilling to tell the village chief's grandma about her childhood, when you recall that scene, is it just an image? There must be emotions like sadness, regret, and pain mixed in, right? That's the magic of memories."


"Why do I have only two memory fragments about you in my mind, and they are disconnected and incoherent, yet when I saw you again today, I still trust you immensely? The reason lies in those memory fragments also being emotional... The emotions that spring up when I recall that scene are trust in you."
