A lonely video archivist decodes a fragmented satellite feed dated August 6, 2024, only to discover it contains a message from her future self, recorded on May 28th in a place called Penbang. The file landed in Eris Cho’s queue at 3:17 AM.

The timestamp in the video said May 28th, 2024. That was almost two years ago. But the woman in the video had been her. Same face. Same voice. Same scar.

Eris worked the graveyard shift for the National Digital Preservation Institute, sifting through automated satellite dumps from decommissioned Korean communication relays. Most of it was static, ghost signals from dead satellites, or corrupted fragments of old K-pop broadcasts. But this one was different.
