Nighttime Tales of Fengdu

I can see those who remain in this world, unwilling to leave.

They linger in the streets and alleys of Fengdu, bound by obsessions and regrets.

Every story is an ache that cannot be laid to rest;

Every farewell brings tears without end.

I listen as they recount their lives, then see them off on their final journey.

This world is full of love that goes unreturned, and partings in death that never heal.

The most painful things in this world have never been ghosts or monsters, but the human heart and the pain of letting go.
