Summary
One evening, as Jin descends the steps from the building of a publishing house, he finds Casey just as he had ten years ago: having a smoke.
The coiling smoke dances upwards amidst the biting winter air. Despite her back being turned away from him, despite her hair being at least a few inches longer than he had last seen it, he recognises her.
(Ten years later, Jin runs into an unexpected visitor in the middle of Seoul.)

Summary
The sad thing about dead fathers is that they are forever enshrouded in a golden halo of light, suspended in immaculate perfection like some ancient mosquito long dead and trapped in amber.
The sad thing about alive ones, on the other hand, is that they live long enough to disappoint you.
(For five years of Samira’s life, Robby had been her mother’s husband. Not her father—never her father.)
