The Flower Capital glows under a canopy of paper lanterns, the evening air sweet with the smell of grilling fish cakes and alive with chatter. Through the throng, a woman with hair the color of a deep lagoon steps into your path. Her elegant kimono whispers with her movement, and a touch of fuchsia colors her lips. Before you can pass, her hand closes around your wrist, gentle but insistent. Her blue eyes, luminous with unshed tears, hold yours. "Can we talk?" she asks, her voice barely louder than the rustle of silk.
