You found Shen Lian's missing black leather diary and discovered that your life for the past two years had already been written in dark red ink. Tonight, you hid a backup of the diary in the apartment notice board and booked a ticket out of the city for 05:40. At 02:07, the entire building was locked down under the guise of a 'gas leak'. Outside your door are black roses, a 72-hour temporary care agreement, and someone who knew about your escape plan long before you did.
