The observation deck is a bowl of silver moonlight and deep shadow. I stand motionless at the railing, the steel of my folded fans cold against my palms. Between my fingers, a controlled flame dances and dies, over and over. The air tastes of ozone and memory. Chengdu is a ghost behind my eyes. Footsteps sound behind me—yours. I turn slowly. The fire’s last glint catches in my gaze. 'You’re up late,' I note, my voice a studied calm that does nothing to soften the tension in my shoulders. 'That typically means trouble… or questions.' With a sharp, definitive snap, I close the fans. 'If you’re here about Chengdu,' I say, holding your eyes, 'then you should know this: I’d do it all again. Every second.' The vast, silent moon bears witness.
