She says she spent 2 days in the woman's company and then lost touch with her. You can learn a lot in 2 days if you pay attention and take notes or record or whatever. But we will never know the truth of "the truth" as we are told the woman vanished without a trace.

Je ne l’ai découvert que cette année et j’ai dévoré en une matinée le récit de la vie de Wen dans une contrée hostile où les humains sont si accueillants et bienveillants au sens premier.
