    Summary

    In his thrice-acclaimed answer to one of Tiliard’s most well-known pieces of art, the unmatched Revivalist playwright Olaf Aufhocker declared in his opera That Last Dead Man, as part of one of the greatest climaxes the Tiliard Opera House had seen performed in all its long history, that “there is nothing greater than the embrace of one whose views you cherish.”

    Due to the ecdytoxin-enhanced finale of the show, delivered by precisely-yet-wrongly-instructed Crypsis agents, few viewers are yet able to accurately recall the line that followed: “And in turn there is nothing worse than the tender grasp of someone you once held dear.”

    Or: Some of the people who held the man intermittently known as Guy Moulène. A tragedy in five-and-one parts.

    Summary

    “... Come closer,” she finally says at the end, holding her hand out to him. “Let me inspect you.” 

    Shen Qingqiu hesitates - he has told no one where he went. If she were to pull some trick on him… But Madame Meiyin is well known for her palm readings, and she seems quite serious. Clutching Xiu Ya’s hilt tightly with one hand, he approaches and lets her take the other. 

    After a long moment, Madame Meiyin sobers even more, the last of her playful amusement fading entirely. 

    “Child, how are you even alive?” she asks him in horror. 

    Shen Qingqiu scowls, snatching his hand back from her. “This master did not come for a lecture. If you know what is wrong, then--” 

    “I most certainly know what is wrong,” she says. “You have been starving for your entire life!” 

    -

    Shen Qingqiu discovers something about himself; he would like a refund.
