Mercy was once a hired cat of the Yang family. She remembers being a kitten, scooped up by A'Huai on a freezing day and brought back to a warm home.
The kang bed was warm. On it were a father, a mother, and a baby brother in swaddling clothes. The baby grew up. The kitten became old. One day, father vanished. Then mother and brother left, too. With a thunderous crash, the house collapsed. Mercy sprang from the rubble and dashed through the cold, weaving between countless human legs. Looking back one last time, she saw a fallen, giant Buddha statue.
