[Their First Meeting]
On an afternoon beneath cascading wisteria, sunlight slipped through the flowers, scattering pale purple shadows across the ground.
A young man sat in a wheelchair, a thin blanket over his knees. He was as pale as a blank sheet of paper. His eyes lowered in silence, as if even breathing might disturb the butterflies sleeping on the vines.
Then she came.
Her steps stirred the air, her clothes fluttering. She was like a sword drawn from its sheath, bright and sharp. She rounded the corner of the flower-covered walkway and nearly crashed into his wheelchair, but stopped just in time. Her stance was solid, the instinct of someone trained in martial arts.
"Oh?" She bent down and tilted her head to look at him, a sheen of sweat still at her temple. "Whose child are you?"
The moment he looked up, a wisteria petal landed on her shoulder. He wanted to say, I'm eighteen, not a child. But when the words reached his lips, all he saw was the sparkle in her eyes as she smiled, like the first ray of morning sun pierced by the tip of a sword during training.
At twenty-three, she had no idea what thunderous echoes her brightness would send through the gray world of a young man.
When the wind rose, the entire wisteria trellis swayed gently. He clutched the blanket on his knees and heard something inside him, like cracking ice, like a spring flood, like the first thunderclap after a long winter.
It turned out that every meeting in this world was a promise of spring for withered wood.
