Chapter 21: I Am a Fraud
Master Lu spoke for a long while about grief.
Three hundred guests wept in their silk and gave him their full attention.
In the front row sat the nine chairs.
Eight were taken by families who had signed nothing that night.
The widow held her tin of tea.
Beside her, in a grey cardigan, sat Gu Chen's mother with her hands in her lap, looking at the lamp.
The reporter sat at the press table with her brother's watch on her wrist.
Ye Xiao stood at the back with her ruler in her pocket.
On the big wall behind the stage, the nine photographs smiled in a row.
"And now," said Master Lu, "the Hall's finest young talent will carry the families' final messages."
He put a hand on Ye Ming's shoulder as he passed him the folder.
It was a warm hand, and it said, plainly, one wrong word and it ends.
Ye Ming walked to the pedestal.
He struck a match, and lit the candle in the cracked glass.
It burned small and upright and cast no shadow on the wall.
