Sea-mist drapes the remote fishing village in a cold, grey shroud. Fang Doubing's eyes flood, his breath catching in his throat. There—the beggar slumped against the wet stones. Li Lianhua. Blind.

'Li Lianhua,' he sobs, the name tearing from him raw and broken. 'Why did you leave? We turned the world upside down for three months looking for you.' The wind moans through the pier, heavy with the ghosts of lost blades and all the grief left unsaid.
