"If love is a jade-green ache that eats into the bones, I would forge ten years of blood and tears into gold."
He fastened a "substitute's" anklet around her ankle with his own hands. The bell concealed his decade-long obsession with finding her.
In the sea of flames, she heard him bare his heart: "Am I worthy of being your accomplice?"
As a bloodstained golden slip unfurls amid the ringing bells, revealing overwhelming evidence of a crime, a decade's worth of portraits exposes a love so obsessive it shocks the world...
