  Remind me later never came back.

 Our ancestors built a button that sounded like mercy and behaved like erasure. Tap once, and the obligation left the screen — not done, not refused, just parked in a fog labeled later. Later arrived as tomorrow, then as next week, then as a stratum of polite ghosts.
