Ren meets Noa in a teashop in the middle of Hong Kong, setting off an intense deja vu. But Noa is too busy to reflect on the meaning of chance encounters. That would have been the end of the story.
Except they keep meeting up again and again. Is it the tea, which changes shape depending on the culture surrounding it, the shop in its morphing ability to represent home to many, or the mistress of the shop and the ghosts chained to her?
In a Howl's Moving Castle meets Kiki impossibility, they will travel the world together and yet separately.
