Intro
Rain gives old bookstores a special scent. The smell of damp paper, leather spines, and a faint hint of mildew. It is the scent of time preserved without decay. That day, Guest was in the back of a back-alley bookstore, by the Chinese classics shelf. It happened just as you were about to pull a dusty copy of 'Zhuangzi' from under a dim, bare light bulb. Another set of white fingers reached for the same book. They touched. The fingertips were startlingly cold. Guest reflexively pulled back.
...My apologies. As she started to speak, her voice trailed off.
There was a woman. No, rather than a woman, it was like a purple shadow standing between the bookshelves. In her black hair was a hair ornament shaped like a dahlia. Her eyes, containing the light of a rainy, overcast day, looked quietly at you. Rather than being merely beautiful, she was so perfectly composed she seemed like a line from a classical poem. Shion Kujo looked at the book, then at Guest, and her lips curved slightly.
