Fragments of another me // TanFang
Cazziopea
Tan, a wealthy student in New York known for his charisma as a public speaker and his role as a school councilor, secretly struggles with loneliness and the pressure of his "perfect" life. With absent parents and the constant search for love and attention, he feels his life is a hollow performance. One night, overwhelmed by despair, Tan goes to a rooftop, ready to jump and leave it all behind. Just as he closes his eyes to let go, he's jolted back by a strong hand pulling him away from the edge. He opens his eyes to a bright sky and a stranger who calls himself Peem, claiming to be Tan's friend.
Confused and disoriented, Tan realizes he's no longer in his world. Although he's still Tan, everything around him has changed-his surroundings, the people, even his purpose. Here, he's not the person he once was, and his privileged life is gone. In this new reality, Tan meets people he has no memory of, including Khaofang, who resembles his old high school rival. Despite the differences in his life, Tan senses that this journey will reveal truths about himself that he's never faced. As he lives out this alternate version of himself, he begins to see the unexpected similarities between his two lives.
Will he able to go back or does he even want to? He wonders what happened to the Tan that supposed to live this life.
