Our Sunny Days by Jeong seokchan (E)

Sung Ho’s not the kind you’d typically expect to settle down in the countryside. He’s in his late 20s, ex-military, and…a single father with a year-old baby his ex-girlfriend pawned off on him.

Chapter Two of Eternity Unleashed: A Spoiler-Filled Commentary

Talian is grown up and has become Milsa’s full-time carer after Bexan’s death.

Balor (now famous) shows up and says he’s quit the ezir (scandal! shock!) and become a medic.

Also, he’s found a cure for Milsa’s illness. Actually, he’s found a cure for death. 

Golly.

Technology

Transformation of Matter

A noteworthy feature of the technology of the planet Progron is that its buildings have dynamic architecture. These are introduced in the form of staircases, which reconfigure themselves as Balor traverses them, in response to his thoughts.

A full paragraph of poetic nonsense is dedicated to describing the scientific basis of this transformation of matter, and it is an exemplary piece of writing.

Transformation of matter at will is the key innovation within the last generation or so. Talian remembers visiting his grandad’s cabin in the woods on vacation and being confused when a window doesn’t appear on command.

Wearable Technology

By the time all the kids have grown up and Bexan has passed on, Milsa is wearing clothing made of the latest fashion, “expressan”, a fabric that changes colour with the wearer’s moods. It would have been nice to see what colours appeared during the scene Milsa was wearing it, since she admits to Balor in that same scene that she puts a brave face on it. There is mention of a “glow” of genuine positive feeling from her at the end of the scene, and I infer that that glow is coming from the expressan.

The nearest thing we have in present reality would be thermochromic paints and dyes, which, like ye olde-fashioned "mood rings", only react to temperature. It's imaginable that body-worn sensors might be able to detect mood with ballpark accuracy within the foreseeable future, and that this could be represented by colour changes in a wearable object.

Information Representation

They have books with pages, an interesting example of decentralized, distributed knowledge representation in a format which will already be familiar to some Earth readers. They write by hand on paper.

Transportation

They have “vehicles” which might as well be cars. Only these private "vehicles" are ever mentioned. No transportation infrastructure or networks are ever mentioned, except for a passing mention of the existence of streets.

Housing

People live in houses.

Communication

No communications networks are in evidence, and all messages seem to be delivered in person. News travels by word of mouth. Only a hundred pages in is there any mention of “listening devices” and then of a “signal stream”.

Arts and Culture

Ezir are not encouraged to read fiction, except in advanced classes for analytical purposes. They sometimes do read fiction recreationally, but only on the quiet.

I infer that fiction is frowned upon because it breaks the principle of alienation that seems to be the reasoning behind the strict separation of ezir (policy/thought) from ezariat (practice/implementation).

I further infer that emotional investment, or belief, or some combination thereof, is considered to be the root cause of the problems that resulted in the rise of the cult of Demeth. At least that is how it looks from the perspective of page 140.

I told myself I was going to bexan asshole for once playing BG3 and didnt even make it one act ;_;

Every time I tell myself I’m gonna do an evil playthrough in a video game I still end up doing good deed quests for random farmers for some reason

[llycaons]

this series occasionally stumbles into something authentically heartfelt and compelling (ein and diesel saying farewell at sunrise, bexan thinking about how he's found other people like him) but a good deal of the dialogue comes off as umm shallow wannabe philosophizing

Chapter Nine of Eternity Unleashed: A Spoiler-Filled Commentary

Wow! Balor's plan is working a treat! These avocado-scoffing millennials, who don't want to work, have been scared straight and are more productive than ever! Talian even remarks that they'll have to think about paying people, the way things are going.

Talian points out that the population's missing motive for working - besides fear of being publicly tortured for slacking, which is the only non-banned form of entertainment now - is child-rearing. Balor blows off the idea; families are, like, old hat. Of course Balor would think that. It's not like his sole motivation has been to keep his family close to him, or anything.

---

Milsa is conspiring with six followers in the woods, where there will be no "listening devices". What listening devices? She shouldn't worry so much, since there are obviously no networks to connect them to.

Observation: This is when the plot starts to feel like it’s actually moving a little bit, and the paper-doll characters start to become more animated and relatable. 

The economist in Milsa's gang explains that, now Balor’s got the planet back to work, all the arenas are closed except the biggest one in each town, which is dedicated to public torture of the workshy.

Problem: if no more criminals, then people will invent them. 

Solution: get people to see Balor as the criminal.

---

Milsa shows up in Talian’s apartment and argues passionately for him to get a heart, a brain, the nerve.

The scene, like several of those before it, is exhaustive and long-winded (I know, I know, u/pot @ kettle #black). But the story is actually coming alive for the first time in nearly a hundred pages. There are some successful moments of dialogue too.

Anyway, Talian is all like “nope, #TeamBalor” and it turns out Balor is behind the door and he goes "suprize!" and takes Milsa to be publicly tortured because “she lacks purpose”.

Milsa speaks to Talian with conviction, saying that Balor can only hurt her body, but the real torture is seeing what her brother has become. It makes compelling reading. She uses the word “soul”, which, without doing a word count, makes her possibly the only character ever to speak in spiritual terms (other than Xmonolor, who warned of the dangers of “spirit-music”).

---

Observation: I had doubts about an invalid girl character being sanctified by her suffering - why should Milsa be the one to have higher values, in a society where nobody else seems to? Isn't this inching towards discredited trope territory? But the author makes a good case for it, in the context of a society where almost nobody has had to endure pain the way she did. Milsa had no choice but to think for herself a lot of the time because there was presumably no disseminated knowledge of techniques for handling pain. She didn’t have any higher education. And she was geographically and socially isolated; there's no mention of her ever having had friends. And she was facing death, itself, minutes before Balor barged in on the ritual. It makes sense that Milsa’s worldview would be what it is.

---

Talian, who was stigmatized throughout his childhood by Bexan’s refusal to euthanize Milsa, is ashamed of her as he watches her being tortured. Meanwhile, Milsa applies the mental techniques she used to endure pain, and wills herself to die instead of reincorporating. 

An unseen messenger hands Talian a hand-prewritten “if you are reading this I am dead” note.

Teyla visits Talian at night and encourages him to turn. Talian’s organized, Milsa’s followers are not, and they need his skills as well as his contacts. Milsa’s message is starting to get through to her brother.
