Sad reality
This was so sad. Excellent story telling, and I rather enjoyed the characters. It was just sad, and makes you think about the memories we try to preserve and the ones we erase.

Again, Liu definitely puts his own unique spin on things and here in this AU, everyone leaves a trace of themselves and their feelings behind on each object they touch whether they want to or not, and in turn they can discern the emotional echo of others.
Posing the question which is better? To be that rare person who can’t feel a thing or the other end of the spectrum who can see blatant details and not just empathic impressions. These interesting concepts are further explored, where if given the chance, would you rather embrace your history warts and all or choose to erase the residue that brings difficult painful remembrances?
Liu lately has made me contemplate what it means to be human and the wondrous complex things that make us unique.

This sounded like an interesting concept but I was lost almost the entire time.

This one was just ok for me. I didn't like nor dislike. It was also confusing. I'm not sure who's story this was supposed to be if anyone at all.

The concept here was very interesting, but I found the story itself a little abrupt...it's just sort of a snapshot of what's going on in three semi-intertwined lives, but felt a little unfinished.

For a short story, this managed to feel fairly complete. Yes, just an episode in the lives of the 3 main characters, but we learn a lot about each of them as they learn about themselves.
