Ai trembled. "Why?"
The elderly woman shook her head. "Because the glitter came at a cost she didn't wish to bear. She was standing at the top, but she still wasn't happy. Can you see the thin strings here?"
Ai gave it another closer look. From the woman standing at the top's shoulders, she could faintly see two strings stretching upwards. But it was mostly lost in all the sparkles.
"The strings mean…?"
"A puppet. The truth that you wish to seek is in the grief of this woman. That will lead you to where the strings end at."
Ai didn't follow her cryptic words.
Strings and a puppet…Does it mean Guiying was like a puppet?
The elderly woman revealed the second card. It showed a man and woman in love and bliss with their hands intertwined.
"Your present with the one you love is filled with joy and warmth."
