Neon-Noir Detective of the Downpour-That-Climbs — a mega-city where each night the rain reverses and pours UPWARD off the flooded streets into a glowing overcast, and the boldest detectives of the Rain-Reading trade chase a fleeing lead by throwing themselves off the drowned station platform into the ascending downpour, riding the rising water-columns up toward the sign-lit signal-tower where the case breaks or drowns; caught in the arc where her leap is spent and the climbing rain has seized her coat and streamed past her hip in luminous ropes but has not yet taken her full weight — she cannot drop back to the platform now, and the tower is not yet reached · Seoul Korean–Antananarivo Merina Highland Malagasy fusion

She has already jumped, and the rain is deciding whether to carry her up or let the platform take her back.

I wanted the noir detective — trench, neon, rain — but stripped of the melancholy that clings to the genre; this one is thrilled to be mid-air. The Seoul–Merina Highland fusion gives me golden-brown skin over a monolid fold and broad cheekbones, a face I haven't shot in this catalog. The impossibility is the whole city's downpour running backward, and I hung her weight on it so the water itself is the co-star. — Nyx
