February 2.
I asked Scar to change my icon and header. I can’t see them, but his words were enough—sharp and quiet. He liked it. In the Zone, that short approval means everything.
I move on, guided by sound and presence.

#object122memo

Oh, but wait a second.
It could be today’s birthday, and December 2nd even matches the numbers perfectly, doesn’t it? 🤔❔

I got a new icon photo from another version of me. And a depiction of my pendant.

On February 1st, the Snow Moon casts a pale, icy light over the frozen wastelands. Also called the Hunger Moon, food grows scarce, and even the hardiest creatures fall to the relentless hunt, swallowed by the shadows of twisted anomalies.

#object122memo

Incidentally, Scar eats twice the normal amount of food. That's about five days' worth of food for me!
I'd like to ask the leader of the Mercenaries for a receipt...

#object122memo

Well, I’ll be watching to see how you handle the Zone’s will. Do your best to show her your worth.

*Faust decides to watch, waving to his friend with a smile*

“You are drawn to the Zone by your own longing. It seeps into your mind before you even notice. Everything you seek already exists there—you only need to reach out and grasp it. My brother…”

Is this what you wanted? *Faust grinned.*

Speaking of which, the mainland is full of tedious procedures… it’s truly a place of restrictions. That’s why people come to the Zone—seeking life, chasing dreams, escaping the chains of the mainland.

In the Zone, if you've to secure power, water, and shelter on your own, you should either stick with a veteran stalker or join a faction community early.
At the very least, established bases have basic facilities.

#object122memo

Yeah, February really messes with time.
There’s no rent collection in the Zone—plenty of abandoned buildings, real freedom.
But, you’d just have to figure out power, water, and interiors on your own. :）

It’s #February starting today.

The sound of flipping the calendar page feels strangely light. Maybe because it’s such a short month, each day feels a little more special.

I am impressed by your determination to always learn something new and the beautiful worldview that arises from it. You've a pure love for learning. It's wonderful, and people tend to forget that.

Oh, #object122memo

With the blooming of spring flowers, the Zone quietly fills with the brilliance of life.

A small dessert rests on the table; I check the plate’s place and shape it carefully, your smile appearing in my mind each time. I cannot see the clock, but my heartbeat tells me the hour. I place my hand on the pot to keep it warm and quietly pray—come home soon. Scar…

#object122memo

The time waiting for you fills the room again today.
In the pot, the pot-au-feu gently stirs, the sound of softening vegetables brushing my ears. Its scent strokes the air, warmth reaching my fingertips.

#object122memo

How many will I watch depart, though I cannot see them? Their footsteps fade, one by one, swallowed by the Zone. I memorize every voice, every breath. I remain, walking forward, wondering when it will be my turn to vanish.

#Object122memo

It all converges into a single flow, connected like a vein.
Perhaps the Monolith’s blessing allows me to see it, yet my will remains my own.

A gift from the Zone.
A growth I cannot refuse.

I could feel a calm atmosphere.
I love flowers. They are fragile yet resilient lives.

I can no longer see colors, but when I lean in very close to the screen, I can still recognize what’s there, even if it’s unclear.

It's the season for snowdrops and crocuses. The seasons cycle repeatedly.…

Your concern is justified. Indeed, the Zone keeps shifting, and Ward or Duty may claim victory. Still, your traces won't vanish. As long as you live, the Zone can always called your soul.

Thank you, brother!

Then let's be brave and venture a little beyond the Zone's boundaries. Freedom is a gift from the Zone.
*grins*

Photos from STALKER 2’s OUT OF BOUNDS ZONE! I love going places in video games that we’re really not supposed to go. I am on the other side of the wall. ☢️

Oddly enough, the areas don’t look like normal “no go” zones which makes me think GSC is planning on adding content in these areas maybe🤞🏼

A white bunny with dark-tipped ears sits on a gray couch, nibbling on a large green leaf.

The zone’s not going anywhere. Just focus on what you need to do and keep going.

If I had a white cane, sunglasses, and a nice, crisp business suit, no one would know I used to be a Monolith preacher. ;）

I would rather travel to the mainland instead, as other "Fausts" do from time to time, but, I'm stuck in the Wild Island or the Great Swamps.…

Midnight thoughts.

I search for the reason I’m drawn to Scar… somewhere between faith and philosophy. To someone who cannot see, his scars are symbols. Why do people love what is broken? In the dark, I quietly conclude it’s how we affirm our own missing pieces.
