你成为孤岬灯塔的新任看守，在交接日记的最后一页读到一行属于自己的笔迹——写给三个月后的你。潮水每天涨落，灯必须每晚亮起，而写信的人，正等在某个尚未到来的夜里。

老街的钟表铺每晚十点整准时亮灯，可店主三年前就已经下葬。街坊都说那是他的学徒在守店。你搬来第一夜就看见了那盏灯，也看见了灯下不该存在的影子。

You are a lamplighter of Chang'an on the night of the Lantern Festival. One lamp you were never meant to light goes out — and by morning, the city has forgotten you exist. Three strangers still half-remember your face. You have until dawn to be remembered.

On a rainy Tuesday, a soaked young woman walks into the café where you work, orders nothing, and asks what year it is. She says she is from three hundred years ahead, and that she has eleven days before the rain stops.

You take a night-shift job at a library where every borrowed book lights a star above the city. The head librarian is missing, the sky is dimming, and someone has been living in the astronomy aisle. Three chapters, three endings, one very overdue sky.

Seven days after the keeper of Cape Ashika vanished, the lighthouse lit itself. You are the relief keeper sent to take her place — and the lamp is already waiting for you.
