1) Still no actual descriptions of the items in the 'box of delights'. How are we meant to work in these conditions.
2) Can't wait for Shen Ni and Bian Jin to inadvertently end up in a dark-web bidding war with one another, without either one realising who she's bidding against.
3) THE DREAM THE DREAM THE DREAM!!!! The 'every version of you' part is particularly interesting because the notion of time-fuckery plus the few descriptions we've had of the virus is again making me wonder how... literal... this all is. Are we doing some kind of merging-of-timelines? Is the virus a way of, like, terraforming the past so that the inhabitants of the future can occupy or use or connect with it? And then the ambiguity of just how active/willing a participant(/instigator? surely not but what if?) Bian Jin was in these activities (at least from the perspective of the mostly-disembodied dream-voice) that may or may not have led to her body being in the state in which Shen Ni found it has me imagining a whole range of possible scenarios, all of which are delicious. (Also coming back to this after having read ch13 I am just eyes.emoji at the whole thing. AAAAAAA)
