Chuang Tzu was a Bluepill who lived in Chinatown. He dreamt he was a butterfly and, upon waking, was unsure whether he was a man who dreamt of being a butterfly or if he was a butterfly dreaming to be a man.
History[]
Pondering over his dream, Chuang Tzu was sweeping his apartment after watering his bonsai and lighting incense at his shrine when a Redpill operative suddenly smashed through his window blasting bullets outside the window. The man was shortly followed by three Agents coming in who were returning fire.
His phone rang and the Redpill operative started to move towards the ringing sound, maintaining the gunfight while looking for the phone. Chuang Tzu, standing at the side and still holding his broom, pointed over his shoulder to the phone behind him, hidden behind a screen. The Redpill went for the phone and picked up while Chuang Tzu blocked the Agents' paths.
The Redpill's silhouette is seen through the screen holding the phone to his ear as Chuang Tzu swung the broom repeatedly, knocking the guns from the Agents' hands. The operative had escaped, Chuang Tzu lowered his broom, and the Agents opened fire, destroying the phone, the screen, the bonsai, and hitting Chuang Tzu multiple times. Laying on his back, dying, he closed his eyes as a butterfly fluttered above his face then flew out of the smashed window and into the night sky.
