    Summary

    The pipa fades away, until the only sounds left in the garden are the rustle of leaves and the wind stirring the long grass. Jin stands on her tiptoes and leans forward, dropping a kiss on his cheek.

    There’s just a hint of jasmine in his hair. Jin breathes it in.

    When she draws back, Li looks a little surprised and a little indignant, the way he had when she’d ruffled his hair so long ago. It makes her hide her mouth behind her fingers so he won’t see her smile.

    “It was good to see you again, Li,” she says, and turns to slip back through the hedge.

    Summary

    There’s a small yellow flower on the table, the color of the sun, encircled by a row of fat, ruffled petals.  Zuko stares and stares.  He doesn’t know what to do with it.  If the flower had been wilted at all, he would have just tossed it out the open window into the street to get trampled by the carts and rickshaws without a second thought.  But this flower isn’t wilted.  It’s fresh.

    It must have been an accident, Zuko argues with himself unconvincingly.  Maybe the flower fell out of Jet’s pocket, maybe it was dropped by some other customer entirely.

    But this was Jet’s table.

    Summary

    Zuko smashes crystals with his fists until his knuckles are wet and ragged with shredded skin, then he slams his head against the jagged rocks over and over until his vision goes white, until blood trickles down his chin.

    And Uncle never says a word to stop him.

    Summary

    Zuko sweeps and his thoughts swirl and rise and descend, like leaves caught up in an eddy of wind.  He finds himself thinking of old memories, ones he hasn’t thought of in many years.  There’s something he’s close to remembering, some thought he’s close to uncovering.

    But he always shrinks away before he can discover what it is.
