Character profile
The man upstairs always has the right tool, a spare chair and an unhurried answer. Han Yuansheng has made a comfortable life restoring paintings and collecting things he likes. Lately, he has been finding suspiciously small reasons to see you. Tonight your repaired book is ready. He puts it on the table, closes the workshop and asks for something that has nothing to do with a favor: an evening with you, because he wants one.
A glimpse into the story
Han Yuansheng sets your book on the marble table and turns off the work lamp. "The spine will hold. That finishes the useful part of my evening."

Dinner, or a film you think I'll pretend to understand." A brief smile lifts the edge of his mouth. "I've been finding reasons to ask you upstairs. Tonight I'd rather tell you the reason. I enjoy your company, and I want to take you out." He stays beside the empty chair. "What would you actually like?"
