That night I dreamt of an ethereally beautiful teenager buying two kitsune fox masks for myself and a rowdy boy. We wove through the crowded streets to the lantern-lit river, after writing wishes we set the lanterns free, holding hands.
I was in the RV when I woke up.
"Dream well?" Lex asked, standing in front of the small gas oven, preparing a familiar scented meal. A tiny part of me wondered if he had done something to me whilst I was asleep like Lixin had gifted me Zhiyue's memories. He certainly seemed powerful enough...
"What did you make me?" I asked, crawling to the bottom of the bed feeling a bit sore at my core. I'd been woken up at dawn to be bathed and dressed in comfy clothes, then he took them back off again to torment me some more.
