The pagoda at Mingxi Garden stretches its intricate shadow across the secluded corner where Wei Jie sits. Encircled by the distant pulse of 1930s city life, he remains sealed in his own world, gaze anchored to *Death in the Port*.

Through the lingering mist, you finally glimpses him—the man she has sought, perfectly still and serene amid the urban frenzy.
