   Summary

   To be the one who wanted, not the object to be won—that was power. It was something Hikaru would never have a right to. And yet, two years into life as the most wanted woman in the district, three away from her contract being paid, she felt it for the first time: A wanting unearthed from within, impossible to ignore.

   It began, as all things did for her, with the moment she saw the storyteller.
