Status Updates From L'isola dei senza memoria

he reaccionado a la palabra "sombrero" como el padre español medio reaccionó al gol de ferrán

It's a little mundane and slow, can be boring at times if you are not in the right headspace or looking for more thrills or action, it focuses more on the effects of totalitarian on the individual

3*

I like that when items disappear they are not jsut taken or burned or destroyed but their associated memories are too, leaving holes in people’s souls. Plot is more slice of life and the villains in the story are not super present, the islanders kind of accept what’s happening and the ones that don’t we don’t hear from them but R. So there is a tension throughout but nothing like omg we’re all gonna die type stuff

Notes:

- the story goes back and forth of MC’s life and her novel of a woman in love with her type writing instructor
- Having her editor be the one she’s hiding while actively writing a novel, not necessarily an outlawed thing but toeing the line as writing can be used to log memories
- Eczema lol
- MC thinks about what would happen if the storage room was disappeared and she forgot R was down there

He brings the new student up after having captured her voice

With body parts going there’s not a lot of production and restoration being done in the town

She is just a voice now in R’s room, he leaves her w the other relics and leaves the room

Next is the right arms, R says he will keep her safe in his secret room

Story: the woman is still in the tower and she hears another woman knocking but she doesn’t alert her to her presence, the prof said she didn’t stop the new student cuz he knew the woman wouldn’t do anything since she is no longer fit for the world outside the clock tower

She works all night to write one line

The next disappearance is left legs! what in the world, so they wonder how to get rid of them when they see MP coming having no trouble walking

Dons back left leg is missing (tho hers is still there) and R massages hers at night

MP are easily able to find ppl who are immune because they can’t mimic the new gait of citizens w a numb left leg

Her and the old man head to her mother’s cabin where she used to sculpt to find more objects, otw back MP are searching the train but they were checking IDs not so much luggage

The old man is having issues moving his hands, they live together now

They go on a walk together, she goes home early, he passes out and dies from the injury he took during the earthquake

She is more affected than when her own parents died
