## Who they are

Fa Fai is the maiden who remains when her companion flees, plucking a red blossom and questioning the dusty storyteller with a pearl-like voice.

She matters as the first discerning listener, the one whose interest confirms that a tale well told can earn its teller bread, safety, or something rarer.
