I looked at the daily fun fects both the one today, and the ones from the past days. And they are something.

Pavia living the naightmares of every Italian.
Zima learning that the Tzar was dethrond.
And this too.

reverse: 1999's logic :
teenagers : working for the government, fighting against the government, killing people, talking to dead people, etc.
a 29 year old russian, literally the oldest non-supernatural character we know of : silly poet befriending birds and wondering why does it rain??

Being very normal about Zima and can I just say the entire, "Poetry exists for itself, whether or not others know it." Is such a cool theme. Also, for Zima specifically and his exile, it is extremely interesting.
You can see it really clearly two times, in the item description for Κλειώ (Clio) and in A Free Heart.
In Clio it reads, "Used by the owner extravagantly, both the paper and the quill wore out very quickly. After the owner moved to the exile land, replenishing this set of tools was no longer a possibility. Thus, the vast, pale snow became his paper. Thankfully, he never had the habit of preserving his work."
(Side note having Clio, whose entire thing in Greek mythology being around celebrating, preservation, and honoring great works, be the namesake for something talking about how that does not matter is. It makes me so happy. Me when parallels. The writers are giant nerds and I say that with so much love.)
The second time it can be seen is in A Free Heart as it reads, "Do poems belong to parchment? Do poems belong to walnut shell and ink? Do poems belong to the nobles and the king? No, said the snowy night, poems just belong to themselves."
For this specific one I think that poems is talking both about well... poems, but it is also talking about poets - specifically Zima. It is titled "A Free Heart", and it seems that being able to let go of any preservation entirely, not having to record anything, is freeing.
Also, I find it very interesting when you think about the Timekeeper and how that entire job is about recording. A lot of Reverse 1999 is about how remembering the past, its art, its people, its oranges is important. Having a viewpoint in game that is entirely contrary to that (in a not evil organization way), that things exist for the sake of it, and nothing is lost when they can no longer be seen or remembered is. Nice. It is very cool. There is no point to this post I just think it's interesting.
