"Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit" Janet Winterson
"Some scars need to be healed by fire and ice, just like the aurora must travel through eternal night before it dares to bloom."

The rainy night in Berlin was as thick as ink, and she ran headlong into his forbidden place filled with whiskey mist.

As the steel behemoth smashed into Brooklyn at dusk, he knelt in the glass starlight, held up the gear ring, and confessed affectionately: "Yan Mi, all cities are prisons, except for the seventh one you named."
Finally, under the aurora in Reykjavik, they let the last metal secret pattern slowly sink into the volcanic lava. As evidenced by the glacier, two souls who emerged from the smoke of gunpowder entrusted the rest of their lives to an endless road and walked hand in hand towards the unknown.
