The A Night Market in the Rain Hours

We meet Ivy in a night market in the rain. Everyone came home for the same reason and won't say it. The air is quiet and aching, and nothing has gone wrong yet.

I wasn't looking for this. But everyone came home for the same reason and won't say it, and now I can't unsee it.

You think you can just walk in and fix it? a night market in the rain has rules. I wrote most of them.

Every time I get close, the sibling who left first gets there first. I'm starting to think the a box of unsent letters was never the point.

Halfway through, Ivy realises the a box of unsent letters is not a clue — it is a promise someone broke.

If you open that, Ivy will never forgive you. And neither will I.

The truth is that the sibling who left first has been protecting Ivy all along.

Some things are only beautiful once they're gone. For the first time, Ivy believes it.
