Summary
Kintsugi:
"The Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise."
Anne Boonchuy had been turned into dust a long time ago. All that remained was an ashen Leaf floating in the winds, aimless and wanting. Little did she know, there was such a thing as restoration for her. Nor did she know that the iridescent cracks marring her skin were evidence of something greater than she thought she was.
Who are you?
Are you really who you believe you are?
Answer wisely.

Summary
For Sasha, love is reminiscent of sour unsweetened lemonade—like the tears she silently swallows in brutal, guilty, penance.
She can only punish herself and dream of intimacy she no longer has the right to reach for.
She is too sinful for that.
For Anne, love is reminiscent of bitter unsweetened tea—like the feelings she can’t help but bury in favor of not ruining what fragile peace she and Sasha finally regained.
She can only helplessly crave what she does not deserve.
She’s too greedy to move on.
One night, as Sasha repents in a private, bloody ritual, she learns that with each pass of the knife, she’s cutting into Anne’s heart and soul just as much as her own.
One night, after finishing a round of graveyard shift lookout duty, Anne discovers how her silence lead to both her and Sasha becoming strangled by unspoken longing.
All a sour and bitter half & half needs is the perfect amount of sugar in the form of three simple words.
“I love you.”
