"Where are you taking me?"
Qin Manjiang questioned Flower beside him.
Flower said gently, "To see Kong."
"Kong?"

With both hands in his pockets, he tilted his head toward an opening for a factory window, squinting up into the sunlight.
Seeming to hear them, he turned his head and slowly opened his eyes.
His hair was messy and somewhat long, though it didn't reach his shoulders. It looked naturally curly, but
