Plot

Just prior to 18-year-old En's mandatory enlistment into the Singaporean army, a series of events and disclosures threatens to alter his world view forever. The taste of his first romance, the death of his grandfather, his grandmother's worsening Alzheimer's disease, his schoolteacher mother's affair with an uptight military commander, and En's newfound awareness of his late father's student activist past all contribute to his decision to reevaluate the pieces of his life before they are erased by the tides of time.

gollark: Ah. It appears that the training dataset includes that time when I just said "<:chips:453465151132139521>" repeatedly.
gollark: It's not like there's 2 hours of homework per day.
gollark: I may actually be overestimating it, because averaged out I only have 4 hours of lessons a day (free periods + sports + etc).
