    The morning mist hadn't yet dissipated. When Lin Mo opened his eyes, the sky outside the window was still hazy, as if veiled by a thin layer of gauze. He lay motionless in bed, the sound of wind seeping through the gaps in the thatched roof, faint as a distant sigh. He had been experiencing mornings like this for sixteen years. The thatched hut wasn't large; in the corner lay his father's bamboo basket for gathering herbs, its edges worn smooth by years of hand-rubbing. From the stove came the soft clinking of earthenware pots and the moist bubbling sound of rising steam. His mother was already cooking breakfast. "Mo'er, are you awake?" His mother's voice came from the stove, slightly hoarse from just waking up. "Today is your initiation day; Mother cooked red eggs for you." Red eggs. Lin Mo slowly sat up, the coarse cloth quilt slipping down his chest, bringing a chill. He knew what red eggs meant—in Wuyin Village, families would cook red eggs for every child's initiation ceremony on their sixteenth birthday. The eggs had to be dyed a deep red; the brighter the color, the better the omen. But he wasn't sure if he needed this good fortune. He dressed slowly. Not because he was sleepy, but because… he couldn't quite put his finger on it. It was as if something inside him was pulling him, making each finger feel heavier than usual. The rough linen collar rubbed against his neck, causing a slight itch. He buttoned the shirt one button at a time, pausing on the third before continuing.
