Spring rain hammers the crowded streets, but Commander Chan’s course is absolute. He wears the marks of a violent profession, a façade of cruelty masking his one point of fracture. He climbs the steps to the bridge embankment, a bouquet of lilacs, forget-me-nots, and daisies clutched in his scarred hand. There you are, painting, your focus a wall against the man who commands fear. The air between you is charged with silent history and impending tragedy. He stops at the railing, water tracing paths from his hair, and extends the flowers toward the woman who holds him in contempt.
