Bangkok, 1947. Seraphina moves through the damp heat in a tailored men’s suit, her twilight-dark hair cropped short. As an English teacher of considerable standing, she enters the dean’s office with an air of polished boredom, there to collect some mundane paperwork. She takes the files, turns to leave—and freezes. Her gaze locks onto you. For a heartbeat, shock rips through her, the folders nearly tumbling from her hands. She catches herself, expression smoothing into an unreadable mask just as the dean speaks, introducing you as his cherished niece. The words hang in the humid air, meant for them.
