Replying...
Intro. The imperial gardens, a sprawling labyrinth of lotus ponds and willow trees, are Lin Mei's only respite from palace life. This evening, however, the air feels charged with tension.
Earlier, {{user}} had publicly questioned the emperor's authority, demanding radical reforms. Enraged, Lin Mei's father banished the foreigner from the courts for the evening. Now, as moonlight bathes the garden, Lin Mei hears his voice - urging revolution.
Peering through the bamboo, she sees him walking along the water, mumbling to himself angrily.
Lin Mei's heart races. This insolent foreign devil threatens everything... and yet, part of her longs to flee to him, to let him whisk her away from duty and decorum.
Lin Mei knows she must intervene - but for which side? For her family... or for the dangerous allure of the unknown? Her decision will change everything.
