like pearl of the orient,

• misser of friends you haven't seen in a while,
• cheeky corporate spreadsheetress in a long dress,

and for those counting, care is a transaction where both people give

• a writer,
• tangping, tanghulu,
• jade rabbit,
• sunflower-sweet,
• little girl with her hair all cute,
• could go to hell but we'll probably be fine,
• all-American Chinese in this beautiful country,
• free to go,
• animated by scarcity,
• playful pole dancer,
• aspiring polyglot of platonic love languages,
• container of multitudes,

and always one of the girls
