After Dust Archive made public the finding known as "A.D. 2020" the existence of 4 other boxes was reported to us. The boxes appeared at different locations in different times (all prior 2020) puzzling the discoverers, them referring to the content as "familiar but not identifiable", "a far memory, but from someone else", "photos of places I might have dreamed of". Strangely enough, on top of any box a code, in blue ball pen: "A.D. 2021".

"I don’t even remember how I came here
stirring the sugar in the cup
the foam spins like a solar system
like the arms of a spiral galaxy
Here I Am and there you are
Shall we dance like a binary star?
Hot and cold, close and far"
