<blockquote>Hikaru dreams about Sai. Some parts of the dreams are true. Some of them are memories, and some are things that he cannot know – fragments of a time long past, echoes of houses and homes and soft courtiers whose graves have been overlain with a changing land and time. Sai might be gone, but Hikaru dreams, and dreams, and dreams.
Sometimes he hopes he never stops dreaming.</blockquote>
