I knew that for the person he was now, this was just an offhand remark, but I couldn't shake the feeling that his words were hinting at something. To be honest, though, it wasn't a possibility I hadn't considered. Although I kept saying that the Liu Jiang in the "As Usual Plan" wasn't real—he was too perfect, making me feel like I could never measure up—compared to a reality that was gradually collapsing, the beauty and normalcy within the "As Usual Plan" seemed incredibly precious. Just like…-

According to the scenario I concocted, that was indeed the case. My gaze flickered from side to side before I asked him back, "Yes, what about it?" He replied, "Your description reminds me of The Truman Show." The Truman Show is a classic dystopian film about a protagonist trapped inside a television show. Liu Jiang and I had seen it together. He loved it and had watched it many times on his own. The time we saw it was a theatrical re-release. Back then, I found it a bit comical and absurd, but…

The rumble of thunder began to roll outside. Liu Jiang stood where he was, his gaze toward me hesitant, but not distrustful. He asked me, "Run away—run away where?"

After reconnecting the equipment, the server login was a bit slower than before. I put on the helmet, sat down in the office chair in the middle, and flipped the switch.

I returned to the company in the early morning of the next day. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this would be my last ride on the post-apocalyptic subway. When I boarded the train yesterday, the staff informed me that it would soon cease operations, and I made my decision—I would move all my belongings to the company and carve out a space to live in the office. I had to stay by the servers. I had to be able to enter the As Usual Project at any time. I had to be by Liu Jiang's side. No…

The last remaining subway line was shutting down soon. This was the news I received when I boarded the train again. Although the storm a few days ago hadn't affected the section of the line I was on, the circuits in the unmanned areas surrounding the capital had been cut. The cause was natural destruction; wind had swept damaged building debris into the underground tunnels. It took the workers a great deal of effort to clear it all out, but some of the generators were damaged. Given the current state…
