“Ghost Dog, you stupid mutt! A full day in the tunnels and this is all you’ve got to show for it? No silver for you!”

Tien had ended up sleeping until evening, incurring the wrath of the site foreman. She earned nothing that day. She couldn’t help that she’d fallen asleep. What was hardest was that she didn’t feel recovered at all.

This might be the end for Chi...

She headed home through the darkening streets. It was one day until the new moon, so there was almost no light. At times like these she always remembered her parents, who had left her and vanished.

We lupalunes wax and wane along with the moon. There will be full moons where nights feel light as day, and new moons so bleak that you wish the darkness would take you.

Even when things are hard, joy is only ever half a moon away. And so, Tien...

Tien gave her head a shake. The parents who had loved and cared for her were not here. One day, they had gone away without leaving so much as a note. It was only luck that had brought her to this town where the orphanage had taken her in.

Mother, father... Chi does not know if Chi misses you or not...

If she wanted to find them, she shouldn’t be giving money to the orphanage. She owed the orphanage a debt for saving her, but it was high time she started saving her money in earnest. So why did she continue to give it all away? Perhaps she wasn’t ready to face her parents. Perhaps she didn’t have the courage to admit to herself that she had been abandoned—

“Chi smells water...” She looked up at the mountain beneath which lay the mine. Dark clouds hung over it. It must be raining up there, and by the look of the clouds, very heavily.

Did Chi not smell water somewhere else today...? Her mind was so foggy that she couldn’t remember.

Before she knew it, she was home. And who should be waiting for her there, but the priest from the monastery.

“What brings you here tonight, father?” she asked.

“You have done so much for the orphanage,” he said. “We are very grateful.”

“Chi is sorry. Chi did not earn anything today.”

“I’m not surprised. You look half wasted away.” Even through the gloom, Tien could see the pain in the priest’s eyes. She hugged herself tight. She never wanted anyone to worry about her.

“Chi is not wasting away.”

The priest only looked more stricken at this show of bravery. “Tien...” he said. “I did not only come here today to thank you. I also need you for something.”

“You...need Chi?”

“Yes, I want to invite you to dinner at the monastery.”

Tien stared at him, baffled. They served the same food at the monastery as they did at the orphanage—the same food that Tien found so revolting she could barely eat it. The priest knew that.

“But father, Chi...”

“I know, Tien. I know you very well. But won’t you come regardless? God knows it’s worth a try.
