“F***...” Sun Jack fell backward and rolled around in frustration. His heart, which had just calmed, was now in chaos after hearing what Tapai said.
“But...but...no, that’s not right!” Sun Jack sat up abruptly, grabbed Tapai, and prepared to piece together the cause and effect of everything that had happened.
“Look, I’m a person from the year 2025, right? I’ve been floating in space for over a thousand years, right?” Sun Jack listed one point after another.
“There’s a lot I can’t guarantee, but one thing I can say for sure—there was absolutely no memory-altering machine in my era!”
But Tapai shook his head again. “If your memory really was tampered with, then the fact that you think you’re from a thousand years ago could itself be a fabrication. That line of reasoning doesn’t hold.”
“I’m not from that era? I’m not a 21st-century person?”
Sun Jack’s head was spinning. He dug his hands into his hair, scratching furiously as his thoughts became more jumbled. Finally, he slammed his hands down and shouted at Tapai, “What the h***! Whose side are you on? Stop messing with my head!”
Tapai shrugged. “The reason I’m shooting down your flimsy self-reassurances is to help you.”
