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."

"If this idea holds true, it would mean that as long as the curvature of space-time changes substantially, and world-line transitions become more and more frequent, space-time particles will eventually be able to return to their original state."


"However... regrettably, I almost test the residual energy in space-time particles every day, contrary to my wishes, the Space-Time Clock readings have gone from 0.0000042 to 0.0000084, yet there hasn't been any change in the residual energy within the space-time particles, which directly shatters my conjecture."


"I've also considered another possibility, that space-time particles might gradually, slowly, and automatically restore energy... but as it turns out, there isn't the slightest change despite measurements over this period of time."


"Now I'm also at a loss, what exactly is continuously providing energy to space-time particles?"
