Summary

In the mellow aftermath, the skies have softened to the light of a waning moon. Bright lanterns shine over a city still asleep, and even the shadows in this narrow alley are silken. Qingxuan pats himself down; fishes out the broken fan from his inner shirt, runs a thumb over the painted rosewood. The shredded silk will never again shimmer with the vivacious spirits of the winds; the gales will never heed it.

It lies dead in his hand, a cheap and worthless relic.

‘Oh,’ says Shi Qingxuan.

His breath hitches a little, then mellows, as soft and forlorn as the night around him.

Shi Qingxuan and his shadow, through the years.
