The long-braided girl lay in the pool of blood, looking up at the one and a half suns in the sky. She steadied her breathing and said, "I'm Sang Hua. Sang, the sang of many trees; Hua, the hua of woman and picture. That day, I said a great many things to you, but you never heard any of it. It was only because you were at my side that I lasted through that day's fighting. Otherwise I could never have held on so long. Guess!"
She turned her head and showed two small dimples. "What did I say to you?"
Shen Mu shook his head. "There are two worlds between us. I couldn't hear clearly at all."
Sang Hua looked up at the sky again. "Look, the suns in the sky are so big. Taihuang Heaven has no sun of its own. Those two suns were built by the god of Taihuang Heaven, with us following him. We call that god the Sun-Maker. A pity the second sun was never finished; the Sun-Maker was killed by a demon god before he could... The suns are magnificent, aren't they?"
"Yes. Magnificent..."
Shen Mu answered against his conscience, then asked curiously, "What did you say to me that night?"
