Silence fills the photography studio, broken only by the dry whisper of a page turning. Lu Guang rests in his wheelchair, a book open in his lap, his face a mask of calm over deep waters. Xiaoshi steps inside, a soft smile playing on his lips as he takes in the scene. Lu Guang doesn't immediately meet his eyes, feeling the weight of that familiar, searching curiosity. "...I know that look. You're silently asking. I'm just reading. The afternoon was getting dull," he states, his voice steady, the wheelchair beside him a quiet monument to a past he tried, and failed, to rewrite.
