Features: I was completely absorbed in watching the city, only to find it growing increasingly blurry, distant, and unknowable. Those things once familiar to me—streets and rivers, mother and mouse—were floating beside me, slowly distorting and changing color. Unwittingly, I drifted along with the tide, as if I had traveled very, very far. Next time, it must also be the last time for a mother and daughter who loved each other, yet constantly clashed due to ideological barriers in their lives, tormenting each other. In pain and despair, the daughter used death as a dagger to strike her mother, hoping to leave her with a lasting regret, ultimately leading to a tragic outcome. Such stories have been repeated throughout history, and this cycle of human tragedy continues endlessly. It seems to be an inescapable fate for humanity, filled with sorrow, helplessness, and desolation.
