创作阐述

"Maladaptive daydreaming is a mental disorder in which the content of the fantasies in the waking mind is real and complex, and there is no way to stop them, even to the extent that they interfere with normal life, so this kind of "daydreaming" is maladaptive. So this kind of "daydreaming" is maladaptive. At the very beginning of the creation, I actually wanted to use the form of "daydream" to restore the adolescence of a young girl, a young girl who feels all-round pressure on the reality, who is worried about or expects to grow up, and who also has a lot of longing and confusion for the future. From a macro point of view, all of us, no matter how old we are, are always growing up and trying to figure out what kind of "adult" we should become.

故事大纲
