Unlike "The Truman World" who wants to escape from a world trapped by supervision, "Life in the Pen" or "Life in Fantasy" is when a "mediocre" person "was told that he was about to leave" and began to seek All kinds of help, from starting to want to escape from the life of "being told" to live one's own life, to recording one's proportion in the world of "tragedy" and "comedy", to find the color of "comedy" from the end of "tragedy".

However, near the end, which happens to be the climax, the writer also thought about the specific form of "death by coincidence" at this time. As the protagonist, "I" found the writer's phone number. After reading the manuscript, "I" He died calmly and saved the little boy. The writer believes that the character who is willing to die even though the protagonist knows the ending should not leave, so that the "⌚️" who caused this incident stopped the blood after being broken into pieces, thus saving the protagonist.

If the protagonist does not go to that station, he will not die, but he will leave sooner or later, and if the child he did not save that day will always live in his heart and feel guilty for the rest of his life. So even though death is avoidable, survival is not necessarily perfect. And leaving at the station to save the child is the perfect ending for a novel to become a masterpiece, and it is also the perfect ending for a person to leave in this way.

"The Truman World" is more like in the first half of "Fantastic Life", trying to survive and trying to escape a place. And "Fantastic Life" stayed in place under the "can" choice, saving a child's life and winning his own new life.
