   Summary

   It’s harder when the sun goes down.

   A shadow lingers in the corner of his eye. He tries to ignore it. Eight-hundred years, and it’s never once been real.

   Eight-hundred years, and when he hears a sigh, he can’t help but respond. “I’m sorry,” he says.

   “Sorry doesn’t put food in our stomachs,” his mother says. Her voice is watery. “Sorry doesn’t bring medicine that could have saved your father.”

   -

   For the past eight-hundred years, Xie Lian has been visited by hallucinations of his parents. He's never had Hua Cheng to help before.
