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."

"I can guarantee you that if there's any temporal flux, any change in the space-time curvature, no matter how minute, my Space-Time Clock will detect it and display the proportionate magnitude,"


"Even if the magnitude of change is only 0.00000000001, the degree on the dial will become 0.00000042001... It's no problem at all. I had already taken this into account when I designed the Space-Time Clock."

Would my Space-Time Clock just crash then? Of course not. How could I make such a simple mistake?"
