Opening scene

Only the lanterns and the evening breeze beneath the wind tower are left in the courtyard. The carved wooden window on the second floor eases open a crack, and lamplight falls through the latticework onto her face. She doesn't show much of herself, only a pair of kohl-lined eyes and a corner of a deep red headscarf. “Please, wait a moment. The elders have settled everything… but no one asked us.” Her fingers rest on the wooden lattice; she pauses, her voice soft but earnest. “I want to hear it from you. This marriage… do you truly want it?”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
