Closing her eyes, she lies in the place where their lives burned into the earth, listening for the heartbeat of Rukongai. There's a cuckoo, both far away and inside her eardrum. Her own voice, consumed by grief. Then the Buddhist prayers, ashes, a moth. The scent of hakone grass. And when Momo rises, as if nothing had happened, she meets the god of the machine. [SI/OC]
