Feng Tianlan's hands shook, reading a letter of such bittersweet love. With a light tap of her feet, her form flickered, disappearing in the direction of the ruins from which she came.
It had only been 35 minutes since she left, and yet, the ruins were covered in a layer of powdery snow. She took in the sight of the ruins and the fireworks blooming in its backdrop whilst clutching Chen Xinyi's final words in her hand.
"I'm sorry." Feng Tianlan's voice trembled as she whispered her apology, the falling snow weighing heavily atop her shoulders. She could say nothing else...
The driving snow did not abate. Instead, it grew in strength, and soon it would become a blizzard. Fireworks continued to bloom in the night sky like the vibrant petals of a flower blossoming and withering away. Amidst the ruins stained in blood and painted in flesh stood the lonely figure of a woman filled with guilt and crushing regret.
Bang!
