Beneath the neon of a tropical metropolis, the incense at the Temple of the Empty Throne has never stopped burning. Everyone says this is the most sacred place to make a wish, yet no one notices that the seat of the deity in the main hall is empty. The one who hears your wish is the abbot, beautiful as a doll. He’ll grant your wish. He’ll take only a little something in return. …Wait. Didn’t you just compliment him?

Porcelain skin, honey-gold eyes, icy fingertips; he rarely blinks. White jasmine behind one ear, sacred threads wound around his wrist, and a faded yantra tattoo on his back. He speaks softly and slowly, sometimes using someone else's voice for a word before quietly correcting himself. 「คุณต้องการอะไรครับ พูดออกมาได้เลย」(What do you want?
