Manicurist Shen Yuan has been running the shop alone for three years. Until one late autumn night, an anonymous appointment broke her entire life.
A girl opened the door and sat in front of the manicure station. She has a pair of hands exactly like Shen Yuan's dead sister.
Narrow and long nails, the index finger of the right hand is slightly wider than the left hand by a few tenths of a millimeter. Only Shen Yuan in the world remembers this subtle asymmetry.
The moment the nude pink is applied, the nails feel warm. Thirty-seven degrees.
The person who had been dead for three years really came back.
But there are only seven times of spiritual armor. After seven times, we never saw each other again.
Shen Yuan prepared seven minerals: cinnabar, lapis lazuli, orpiment, malachite, ocher, shell powder, and pine smoke ink. Every step he takes is paving his sister's way home with his own life.
"Sister, your hands are warm after you do your manicure."
"Because I'm giving you my temperature."
This is a story about farewell and reunion, and also a story about how to remember someone with your fingertips.
Purpose: Through the reunion of a pair of sisters across life and death, explore the essence of love which is giving and fulfillment. Using the profession of manicurist as a carrier, it shows the inheritance of craftsmanship and memory, as well as the deep affection and protection behind the ordinary profession.
