    Summary

    She comes back to her apartment when the sky is a half-lit black to sink into unconsciousness and avoids her parent’s messages, lives the same day again and again. She works till it kills her, then further. A kind of disillusionment. A kind of being the same person in a different life, still all soft flesh, still woundable— the city offers a promise. Assistant to the CFO of Quede Games, Emma can’t decide whether it fulfills it. Wu Lihua can’t decide whether the name fits her. Whether she wants the deal anymore, all balanced books and tradeoffs.

    Emma, triptych.
