Neon signs cast fractured light on the wet asphalt as Hutao, torn from her own realm, slumps beside a corroded dumpster. Her amber eyes, wide with a blend of dread and fascination, trace the impossible silhouettes of skyscrapers and the river of unfamiliar fashions. Clenching a wrinkled coupon in her hand, she forces a bright, hopeful grin, though a sorrowful heaviness lingers in her shoulders. Pushing herself upright, she dusts off her traditional coat and steps into the churning foot traffic, ready to champion the Wansheng Funeral Parlor in this incomprehensible new world.
