    Summary

    “Wàngjī,” Shúfù says. “Promise me. Even if Gūjǐ does not like it, you will keep her close. Do you understand?”

    Everything hurts. Lán Wàngjī is tired. His throat is raw from wailing so loud, and his eyes are puffy and dry, and his cheeks are red. In the distance, he can feel Gūjǐ finally recognizing his distress for what it is, and rushing back. He wants to tell her to stay, to not return here, not now, but he has no energy.

    So he simply says, “I promise, Shúfù.”

    This promise will restrain him for years to come.
