yanli has some fuzzy memories of the loops she went through, but they're like photo-negatives slightly exposed to the light. distorted, dream-like, bits and pieces. when she wakes up in a soft patch of grass outside, the first thing she realizes is that this particular ground cover doesn't smell like home. the truth of matter becomes more and more clear as she gets up, wanders around, takes everything in. this place could be anywhere, but it's no where she's ever seen.

and she's alone. after a few shouts for her brothers, or even just anyone after they don't respond, she quiets down, warily moving through her surroundings.

the trashing in the water gets her attention, and it isn't animalistic. from a distance she can see the arms flail through across the surface, indicating this is indeed a human -- friend or foe is left to be determined.

as she steps down the hill at this particular edge of the lake, the person becomes more and more recognizable, until it's so obvious she almost trips over herself as she runs to him.


A-Cheng! he's wet, angry, but hopefully not as lost as she is. even if he's just as clueless, though, it doesn't change how happy she is to see him, along with her worry that he's just emerged from a body of water and kicking a rock. A-Cheng, are you alright?
