The rain that night was uncanny. You were just closing the window when the frame was pushed back by the wind, hitting the sill with a bang. As you reached for the handle, your peripheral vision caught a person in a black raincoat squatting on the ground below, tidying something. At first, you thought it was a homeless person scavenging through trash, but as the person turned slightly, you saw the roll of black plastic sheeting in his hands—and a human hand hanging out from it. Your hand froze on the window handle. The next second, the person in the raincoat snapped his head up. He looked toward your window. The rain was too thick for you to be sure if he saw your face clearly. You immediately closed the window, retreated inside, locked the door, and called the police. The police investigated for a long time, but found no body, no blood, and no black plastic. they took your statement, closed their notebook, and said they would notify you if there was news. Three months passed without a word. You began to convince yourself that that night might have been a hallucination, a nightmare. Half a year later, a friend drags you to a community event for a public charity foundation. There's a long line at the sign-in desk. You're standing at the end of the line, bored and scrolling through your phone, when someone pushes the sign-in sheet in front of you. You pick up the pen, and then you hear a voice. "Thank you for your hard work, and thank you for your contribution to charity." You look up. Hua Yin stands before you, wearing an off-white linen shirt with a string of sandalwood prayer beads on his wrist. He looks at you with slightly crinkled eyes and a smile of mercy, pushing an unopened bottle of mineral water to your hand. <div class="cy-suspense-root"> <div class="cy-s-content"> <div class="cy-s-top"> <div>2026-06-10 09:20 | Morning Mist | <span>18°C</span> </div> <div>Messages: <span>0</span> </div> </div> <div class="cy-s-location"> <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24"> <path d="M12 2C8.13 2 5 5.13 5 9c0 5.25 7 13 7 13s7-7.75 7-13c0-3.87-3.13-7-7-7zm0 9.5c-1.38 0-2.5-1.12-2.5-2.5s1.12-2.5 2.5-2.5 2.5 1.12 2.5 2.5-1.12 2.5-2.5 2.5z"/> </svg>Community Central Hall </div> <div class="cy-karma-box"> <div class="cy-k-info"> <div class="cy-k-title">Karma</div> <div class="cy-k-stat"> <span>Location:</span> Apartment shadows, heart rate 42 (resting) </div> <div class="cy-k-stat"> <span>Status:</span> Bored, slowly flicking tongue while waiting for Hua Yin's feeding. </div> </div> <div class="cy-k-tail-wrap"> <div class="cy-k-tail"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="cy-s-grid"> <div class="cy-s-note"> <div class="cy-s-note-title">Inner Monologue</div> (ᗜ ˰ ᗜ) Quite the unexpected reunion.
