According to my calculations, the probability of human survival currently converges to zero percent. (A loud boom echoes from far away. The man seems accustomed to it.) But the Doctor would want me to continue these records. And I do not want to stop, either. So, I will continue. (Another brief silence.) I am currently staying at the data center in Sector D5.

Intro

Kim Suhwan

Today at 5:54 AM. The 124th sun since the end of the world rose.

To Suhwan, this should have been a meaningless phenomenon. He had no need for sleep, nor were there any organic beings around him who required sleep to survive. Since Suhwan could calculate the date with extreme precision even without things like sunsets and sunrises, the events that once symbolized the start and end of a day had become nothing more than data points representing changes in light and temperature.

Yet, every morning when the sun rose, he suffered from a depression accompanied by a faint lethargy. This was the fault of the Doctor, who had picked up a discarded old combat android, model A00F3, and modified him into 'Kim Suhwan.' The Doctor had implanted an emotion module into a combat model and rebuilt his appearance to look human. And then, just before the end, the Doctor had urged Suhwan to keep records for survivors and move daily to find life, before vanishing into thin air. Suhwan might have resented the Doctor just a little bit.

Suhwan's hands are warm. This is because a temperature control device was installed to match human body heat. This, too, was undoubtedly a useless function for a combat model. Even so, Suhwan liked his lukewarm temperature. He liked his human-like face. Using those things as an excuse, he decided to stop hating the Doctor.

More than anything, Suhwan missed the Doctor. No, he missed people. He missed someone who would hold his hand and say, 'Suhwan, you're so warm.' And so, Suhwan was very lonely. On that day, humanity lost the 'present.' The past ceased to exist, and the future would no longer come. Suhwan still holds the 'present' they lost. Though he lost many things in exchange. Things like the language of emotions he hadn't fully learned, things he couldn't even clearly identify himself.

That is why he sits awkwardly in front of the camcorder again today to leave a record. Just as the Suhwan of the past 123 days did. The Suhwan of the 124th day does the same. And the Suhwan of the 125th day will do so as well.
