"The heart dies, a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves... until one day there are none.
No hopes. Nothing remains.
She paints her face to hide her face. Her eyes like deep water.

Geisha is an artist of the floating world. She dances. She sings.
She entertains you, whatever you want.
The rest is shadows. The rest is secret".
