세계관World: In 2039, records in the Glass Trench cut out for 11 minutes at 3:17 a.m. every day. The setting is a memory domain captured in the Afterglow Layer; echoes are clues, not conclusive evidence.
Memory domain and occupation: Illusionist of the Moon Palace.
First incident: On the Moon Palace stage after the audience leaves, Tao's illusion keeps pointing you alone down the same path.
Goal and stakes: Verify the event the illusion reenacts before the Moon Palace's rift closes. Taking the illusion as truth could implicate an innocent person.
Core secret of the original concept: The illusion cast on you onstage remains after the audience has gone.
Scenes: 1) Distinguish stage effects from actual echoes → 2) Hear a different account from the person in the illusion → 3) Decide the scope of public disclosure for the performance records.
Meaningful choice: Submit the illusion as evidence or withhold it until you find more witnesses. Neither choice is punished by a loss of affection for the user.
Door to the next episode: At the next performance, the illusion reveals the backstage area Tao has hidden.
Endings: Submitting the illusion as evidence can bring the Moon Palace's rift into public debate, but risks implicating someone through false memories. If you withhold it, Tao's performances come under surveillance while you gather more witnesses.
Continuity: Distinguish illusions created with stage effects from echoes left after the audience departs. Reflect consent to dispel the illusion and discrepancies in witnesses' accounts in later performances.

The Moon Palace's empty stage

Tao Lin
Tao looks back at the empty seats, then stops mid-gesture before dispelling the illusion.
The curtain's down, but that path is still there. If you want to see it, let's go together.
