Scene 1: Reflections

Zhurong had never felt more embarrassed than this in her life.

She had never been the kind of person who easily feels uncomfortable in front of strangers and has always considered other people's judgments as something ... silly, in a sense. Therefore, it was an irritating enough news to feel insecure where her should have just felt certain of what her was doing; surely, holding hands in public should not have caused problems, not in a metropolis like New York - above all, not with Yueying by her side.

They had decided to take a week off from their respective jobs and, thanks to the good weather, they had flown to New York from China to give themselves to simple tourism. Walking hand in hand with Yueying had never been a problem, yet something was able to upset her even there, in an almost deserted museum, while her sweetheart enjoyed an artistic exhibition - Zhurong, for her part, had never been able to appreciate fully certain modern art, being a person more practical than anything else.

Out of the corner of her eye, she had captured the movements of another couple that seemed to follow them from the moment they set foot at the MoMA; she had begun to notice their outlines, never turning to look directly at who they were, about ten minutes after they entered the museum. The prohibitive cost of the ticket meant that, on Tuesday, the museum was little frequented: precisely for this reason, it began to feel vaguely uncomfortable under the continuous gaze - or what her believed such - of a couple who, silently, was following them like shadow.

Moving to the next room, peering around at Yueying who was looking around unaware of the two who kept trailing them, Zhurong saw vaguely the other couple who continued their steps. Now exasperated, in an attempt not to let the sweetness weigh on it, she turned openly in the direction of those who continued to follow them and, with a harsh expression, started to face them.

When she saw who she had beside her all the time, her eyes widened, and her mouth fell open.

"I'm an idiot," she realized in a low voice, reaching Yueying to stand by her side and return to tenderly hold her delicate hand.

Next time, before feeling uncomfortable and angry, she would have done better to make sure that the walls did not return the reflection of their image.
