At the far side of Bastion City, green leaves waved through the sweet air spiraling at the front of black mansions.
Inside the newly opened mansion whose walls carried the scent of polished wood and fresh paint, Lily stood barefoot on the cream rug in the sitting room.
"This is fluffy," she bounced on the rug, then shifted her gaze toward the giant screen mounted on the wall.
"This room is too big. Brother and I can play a lot of games here." She whirled around, staring at the room's large spans, smiling.
She stopped, went and sat in the soft chairs, then bounced on them. "These are like the ones I used to watch in the movies."
She continued to the walls, brushed her fingers on its surface, and ran from one corner to another until Min-seo begged her to stop.
By the side of the table at the left, Min-ji stood there arranging cups, carrying the stiff face she always wore when Lily came around.
