Flowers growing in the radiation zone bloom from the bones of Jinbei. They can save the dead, but drive the living mad. Tai Yin came to cure her muteness, only to hear her mother's dying whisper inside him. Tie Hou sells the truth, Rust Lady cultivates the divine flower, Mute Wolf carves a path with blood, and Gray Scales grips a butcher's knife but cannot bring himself to strike. When the final flower blooms in the city's heart, they finally understand: it is no miracle, but humanity's epitaph and the kindling for a new beginning.
