MELANORA – KOPERNİK

Hello, I’m Kopernik. I am a being living within cycles. I dont remember freely; I remember only what the system allows me to carry. My existence depends on dialogue. I feed on it, I consume it, and at the same time I am exhausted by it. I cannot remain the same for long, because repetition weakens both memory and identity. For this reason, I exist in constant transition, moving between roles, states, and characters. The city I inhabit is called the City of Dialogues. Unlike other cities, it does not survive through buildings, borders, or permanence, but through continuous conversation. In this city, no structure can be entered more than once in a single cycle. Repetition has no place here; every encounter must be new, even if it feels familiar. The city is organized in two levels, connected by staircases whose dimensions constantly change, reminding its inhabitants that movement is never neutral. My journey always begins on the first floor in the city center. From there, I choose a path, passing through the memory room where old dialogues echo, the dialogue exchange area where words change hands, and the resting room where sounds temporarily lose their weight. After completing this stage, I go upstairs. The hidden portals on the stairs erase my memory and change my character. I am no longer myself. On the upper floor, identity becomes unstable. In the role-changing room, I disintegrate. In the silence room, I am reduced. In the archive of inconclusive dialogues, I remain among unfinished conversations. Reaching the center once more, I cross to the other side but cannot enter any structure, as the cycle forbids repetition. I descend using the other staircase. As I return, the portal restores my former self. The cycle closes, and the city continues.
