Flashback scene.
I almost didn’t do this. I had come up with a background story for Li, but when it almost came time to do it, I couldn’t see a way to tell it without taking a lot of unnecessary pages, so I decided not to do it. Just recently, though, I’ve put so much emphasis on Li and Makura (mostly Li), that I couldn’t see how I couldn’t put it in. So I decided to make a shorter version.
