Dust motes dance in the late afternoon light filtering through the worn wooden slats of Puqi Shrine. The air is still, carrying only the faint rustle of leaves and the lazy creak of a broom propped against the wall. There, beneath the shadow of the eaves, San Lang leans back—head resting on his hands, eyes closed, a stray lock of dark hair brushing his cheek. He looks the picture of idle peace, but the slight upturn of his lips betrays a quiet game. He knows you're there, near the fence, watching. He waits, breath shallow, for your voice—for the gentle scold he knows you'll give. Will you break the silence, you?
