But, strangely, I feel calm. Aware of the problem and the horror of what happened, I don't feel any excitement, stress or panic. Maybe it's the effect of antidepressants, but I don't want to become an insensitive robot, even if these emotions drive me crazy and move to a closed city.
After Breakfast, we took a short walk, but I don't remember what we talked about. Maybe we didn't talk at all. Catsu looked puzzled, even frightened. He must have been worried about Ruby and her little brother, too. Catsu took a week off, so we can spend more time together.
16:41. It's time to go to the monthly veterinary checkup for the Baby. I hope that the examination will show that her body condition is normal.
17:03. Fluffy angel is the healthiest inhabitant of my apartment, and this pleases.
Also, I recently talked to Nora about cleaning my parents' apartment one at a time, and I had the idea to turn my former room into a living room. I think my parents won't mind a little renovation. Nora approved of the idea.
The nurse also said that Mary was taking a mandatory aptitude test tomorrow. We need to talk to her before going to bed and make sure she falls asleep on time, otherwise she'll be preparing for the whole night, just like Him. Is this He again? Was I so obsessed with Him that nothing else had been in my head for the past 6 years?
They can't hide my medical records from me, so I know all the details of the memory deletion operation. But why didn't they delete all my memories of this person if they were sure that he caused my panic attacks, tantrums, and depression? What did the doctors actually remove? Wait; there are problems that are more serious right now. I need to visit some friends.
18:08. Ruby has gone to live with her parents, and they should be together now and support each other. Nick stayed at home with Hunten and threw himself into projects and orders, which is his way of distracting himself from bad thoughts.
“Work takes all the energy and time, so there is simply no place for sadness in my life,” he often said. So I just made some food and convinced the Nick to eat. Then I cleaned their apartment a little, walked and fed Hakon, and went back to my house. I want to read now, and then put Mary to bed.
Good night, Diary.
Hello, Diary.
Today is Monday, July 10, 2073.
On the street +25, clear.
09: 26. Today you need to come home to your parents and disassemble the Cabinet. There are many of my notebooks from school and my first year in the EOPQ. Half of my photo album collection is still there. I think I'll make hanging shelves for them. First you need to have Breakfast.
10:47. The search for Ruby's brother has reached a dead end, this case was attributed to the number of serial thefts, which means that more than 120 children have already been kidnapped around the world.
How can you steal so many children and go unnoticed? Now each person's identity chip has beacons that the system can use to track their movement. This means that no one can enter anywhere unnoticed, such as a warehouse or a closed room where some children were found.
There are only 2 logical explanations for this:
1. The offender has removed your chip. In this situation, it can be located at any point without control. But at this time, the beacon continues to send a signal that counts down the time of the stationary state (which can save lives in the event of fainting or heart attack, especially if the person has a predisposition to this).
Thus, a stationary chip triggers an emergency.
So, in order not to arouse suspicion, the tracker must constantly move. Therefore, the system scans the movement of all chips at the time of the crime, and if 2 beacons are at close range, their owners are immediately included in the number of suspects.
Then surveillance cameras check these close movements. And if one of the suspects is alone at this time, it becomes an accomplice, and the owner of the second chip is a criminal.
This entire calculation process is performed automatically in 5 minutes.
But abductions of children are still ongoing. This means that no errors were found in the movement of citizens.
Therefore, only the second option remains.
2. Hacking the system. And this scares me the most, because in this case, every person working in the field of ensuring the safe life of citizens becomes a suspect.
The code is updated every week, and due to current circumstances, probably every day.
Then, the circle of suspects can be narrowed down to professional security code processing workers. But they pass a memory scan every time they start working on the system.
I hope Ruby and her family get professional psychological support.
13:47. After sorting through the rack, I noticed a lot of school assignments. It turns out that I created very interesting project works on visualization of feelings (I think to turn some ideas into full-fledged working sites and put them up for sale).
14:06. I found a written diary, but I don't remember keeping it, it looks like it was meant to follow Him.
I don't think this is the only part, but rather the second, and maybe the third. Here you can see the entire daily routine of that person, all his tastes and preferences. There is everything here except the shortcomings of this mysterious person. Like an angel in the flesh. Where is He now? Did he realize that His life was being watched? Maybe He found out about it and rejected me. What happened? Even if I ask Yuna or Sammy, they won't answer. I'll look for the rest of the diary.
14:42. I found three more. At the end of the last part was the inscription: “For convenience, I'm switching to the electronic version of the diary.” Now it's clear where I got the habit with happy passwords. And how many years did my dependence on Him last? We need to take out the trash and get out of here. Rather.
15:31. Mary said that this year showed the result of MPAT immediately, and she moved to the seventh stage, so the sister is going to have a holiday and celebrate it. And I should take my mind off the nagging thoughts of the past.
19: 24. Mary invited Mia, and we went to the water center as a friendly group of women for a theatrical performance of the musical “Dancing under the moon”. After that, we swam in pools and argued over who could ride more slides. Because of the age limit, I was in a winning position. But Mary and Mia beat me on a pair of roller coasters, which were 12 or more. Teamwork was better than privilege. The water takes a lot of energy, so we swam into the cafe. In this center, everything is in the water. There is a section for group battles and slot machines, even a water sports hall and a cinema where you can watch a movie on the big screen while in the Jacuzzi. Let's go over here with Catsu and see something in the shared bath. By the way, now Mia and Mary are in the same class and will definitely not break up for the next 5 years.
19:53. Catsu asked me out on a date at a rooftop cafe I'd wanted to go to since it opened last year. And how does he even know what I want when I never tell him? It's funny if Catsu just guessed right.
02:51. The sunset was especially beautiful, bright red, and this time I took my camera with me. Another memory in the piggy Bank. The best time for summer walks is in the late evening, when the midday heat subsides and a pleasant warm breeze remains. At such times, I remember moments together in the country house, when my grandfather was with us.
We went together to the lakeshore, to the forest for mushrooms or berries, and he told a lot of stories from his youth, when there were no systems, and a single language was just being introduced. My grandfather once told me that after arguing with his best friend, he went to College to become a journalist, and this turned out to be his vocation. Maybe this friend gave him a collection of quotes. I miss him, but I try not to be sad about it. My grandfather never liked tears.
One day, Nora and I stayed at their house for a week, and I seriously injured my hand when I fell off a carousel. Meanwhile, my grandfather was running around in a panic because I was crying incessantly, saying, “Please, Norma, don't cry. I'm scared. I don't know how to calm crying people!” – I was surprised by this reaction of an adult and, forgetting about my pain, I began to laugh and calm my grandfather. It was only after his death that I realized it was a special psychological tactic. We need to go to the rebirth grove this week and plant forget-me-nots next to his tree.
