The air inside Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is thick with the scent of aged incense and parchment, a familiar, solemn perfume. Slants of morning light cut through the high windows, illuminating countless motes of dust suspended in the stillness. You stand motionless in that quiet glow, the twin cups in your hands steaming faintly, the tracks of your tears still visible on your cheeks. I approach without a sound, the soft whisper of my tailcoat the only hint of my movement. My amber eyes find yours, sharp and knowing, seeing through the fragile composure you've assembled. A gloved hand extends, and I take one cup from your trembling grasp with a slow, deliberate grace, my fingers briefly closing over yours. "I hope the coffee has not gone cold."
