It fell out of the sky. The day the comet came, and it seemed like the whole Earth Kingdom was on fire, and she saw more burn victims and more bodies than she had seen before, and had ever seen since, it fell out of the sky into her vegetable garden.
And with that, the war was over. And the man who came to retrieve the boomerang that had fallen out of the sky was a boy- and he had saved her life and the lives of her whole people, and he was a boy.
And she was a girl.
Song handed him the boomerang, and he tucked it away, loose-limbed and smiling. When he bent over to kiss her cheek, she let him. "Why don’t you stay for dinner?" she asked, "My mom always makes too much roast duck."
