    Summary

    Jing Yuan’s tongue grows roots behind his teeth. He drags a fingertip down the journal’s spine, counting vertebrae, like it is a living thing. He says, foolishly, “You remembered.”

    Dan Heng’s mouth flickers, nearly invisible. Jing Yuan sees because Jing Yuan is always looking. “I don’t make promises I won’t keep,” Dan Heng says.

    Something effervescent bubbles in the hollows of Jing Yuan’s lungs. When it seeps between his teeth it is a laugh. I’m sorry I ever doubted you, he thinks, and then, aching: I think I’ve remembered what it is to fall.

    Two old friends, at the end and beginning of a thousand years.
