#WATTYS2020
The lives of rap songwriter, Wang He Di and aspiring singer, Shen Yue, intertwine at a music club in Suzhou. It is love at first sight for him. But for her, love at first sight is the scariest thing, next to falling in love again.

From a distance, he saw her looking out to the river. It was nearly dusk and many had left but he noticed her fiery red hair and costume. It was not the color of her hair, nor her iced-blue sword that attracted him. Her face was glistening. She was clearly crying. Her mascara was slightly smeared. He could have turned away and left her but it did not feel right.
Before he realized it, he found himself moving towards her. "Sumimasen. I think you might need this." He said in Japanese, handing her a packet of tissue.
When she looked up, he saw the biggest brightest eyes he had ever seen. Her brown eyes were glistened with sorrow that they tugged his heart.
She sniffed and took the packet, nodding "Arigato." She took a piece out and blew her nose, not minding the presence of a stranger. Then she turned to him and smiled. "Thank you for making my day. I feel much better now." She dusted her skirt and adjusted her hair, turning her back from him, she walked away.
That was the last time he thought he would see the fiery red haired Cosplay girl.

(I took this photo during a trip to Kyoto in 2017. I wished I made time to sit by that river bank. Next time.....)
