Our identities and consciousness should be viewed as mechanisms that align with the law of nature, rather than as predetermined tools with which people are labeled arbitrarily.

The original inspiration was driven by the story of “Wuthering Heights, 1992”, in which the striking contradiction between desire and fate was magnified and rendered through a detailed focal point of spacetime and nature.
