At first light, in an ancient wooden chapel, chanting monks provide distant harmony as she pays homage to the Golden Image; her contemplations broken only by the arrival of the bird sellers. Offering a few small coins she takes a tiny wicker basket and releases its two captive birds. For five days she comes, one for each year of entanglement. Ten birds released; one each for herself and the partner she wishes to unbind. Thus from past lives rejoined she now unwinds for the final time, the bonds that have cut them both so deep. How hastily those birds flee.
