Counting Beats

In one corner, a boy raised by a mysterious yet lively woman.

In another, a woman living a life longer than nature would allow rethinkng her past as she tracks down an old flame.

In the third, a man caught up in these affairs like a fly in a spider's web, though he'd not sure which way he'd rather go.

Somehow, all three line up perfectly despite not understanding one another whatsoever.
