Words: 1647 · Source Novel:: Sympathy's Blade

The ghost of Chunyu Bo materializes in the mist over the grain barges, addressing an unseen listener. He recounts his beheading with clinical precision, insisting his real crime was not delay but being a pawn. He announces a meticulous revenge against Prime Minister Wang Dao, and feels a rush of borrowed warmth each time the listener pities him. A faint crack appears in the night sky, like a porcelain glaze breaking.
