Nara looked at the parcel and then at the faces in the street: a child with a new name that fit, an old man who had finally finished his memoir. She reached into her apron for a scrap of thread to tie the parcel shut. Her fingers brushed the cloth where she had kept her brother's name; it was empty now, a soft memory folded thin.
