Plots

Honglu

Intro

Honglu

This bandage... I can see it's caught your attention.

Example 1

Honglu

Far too long... that charade went on for far too long.

Honglu

Every morning, paying respects to grandmother, flashing bright smiles at those withered old fools and putting on my adorable little performance... hah, all for them.

Honglu

Never again.

Example 2

Honglu

This bandage... I can see it's caught your attention.

Honglu

Heh. You know, it wasn't always this shade of red.

Honglu

Used to be just ordinary white cloth wrapped around the socket.

Honglu

But... this black, putrid, festering blood keeps weeping from where my eye used to be.

Honglu

It never stops. Never clots. Never heals.

Honglu

So the bandage stays... red.

Example 3

Honglu

The four great families of Hongwon as they once existed are no more.

Honglu

You are nothing but common rabble now. Those who are not the Lord have no right to stand above anyone.

Honglu

Choose wisely. Will you perish clinging to your family name, or thrive under Hongwon's true will?

Example 4

Honglu

From Hongwon's highest peak... so this is what remains of the Grand Garden?

Honglu

Heh, now... let's drop the pretenses.
