33 This is in fact, one of the Yun Estate’s many dining halls, perhaps one used for the reception of guests . Using a lighter, we see as a hand lights up a pair of candles . In the dim shadows, we see that there is someone seated at a dinner table in the room, and where some wine is laid before him . But other than that we see little else . Lord Yun is slowly revealed to be the man who lit the candles . We see as he turns to the shadowy figure at the table, which of course, we know, is Shui . As he sits opposite Shui at the table, he looks at this man who has entered his life and starts talking . As this conversation continues we are made aware of the presence of a pendulum clock in the background, one of the many imports from the West at this time of limited free trade in history, and of course a luxury probably only a family of influence could afford . It is the ticking of the clock that punctures the pauses of silence in the conversation between two men . LORD YUN What I want to know is, would you like to see me dead at this moment? SHUI Does it matter, would you want to kill yourself if you had the chance? LORD YUN Yes, I could … SHUI I am going to see to believe . LORD YUN If it is that you hate me so … Lord Yun pours a cup of wine . Then he dashes it against the floor . We see as the floor starts to sizzle and bubble as part of it is eaten away … LORD YUN
