Chapter Three: The Deleted Man

He would not choose between his mother and the deleted friend. He would not accept a multiple-choice question in which every happiness had been written by someone else. He would enter the White Tower branch, recover Zhou Jiming, learn why Lin Wan lived inside an overwritten fire, and ask the account wearing his father's name one question: Who had given it the right to delete people as conflicts?
