queen consort cho smiles, wide and monstrous, as she asks her father "what now?" the text reads: "I am homebound with hunger, unsure which came first—hunger or homesickness."

her father has only walked a few steps away from her when he stops and spits up blood. the text reads: "Soon I will have tea with Father,"

a time reversal of the queen pouring tea into a cup to the point of overflowing while her poisoned father stumbles towards her in the blurry background. the text reads: "a strong tea as usual,"

the queen looks down sadly at her father's corpse before looking up again. the text reads: "but the eddies in the tea cup will confound my sense of time: am I still five years old or twenty and five?"
