"A window is a house for outside," Xinxin said.
"Wow, that's beautiful... What is outside a house for?"
"Outside is a house for the future."
"Hmm, I like it. And future?"
"Future is a house for everyone."
"That's really nice. What about everyone?"
"Everyone is a house for bones."
Luyao felt her bones rattle kike those skeletons hung in people's yards on Halloween. But her daughter's face was tranquil.”
