99 Problems, One Is You
Key art
Synopsis
This engine has ninety-nine problems. Ninety-eight of them are him. She says it with her arms folded, black and gold, a small winged figure at her hem. Steam, jade, gold lanterns, and a silver neon the courtyard did not ask for.
He stands with a hand on the sword and a scorpion at his boot. A precise Virgo and her dark Scorpio. The ninety-ninth problem is the one they decide is worth keeping.
Extended sequence
The pipes can keep the other count. She does not uncross her arms.
Wet stone. No crowd. The number does not need witnesses.
Figures in the frame
A woman with a gold headdress and a black robe stitched in birds.
A man with long hair half tied, dark armour worked in gold, the scorpion level with his knee.

Sound of Imagination
Ninety-Eight is the courtyard after the count. The wheel stays broken. She does not uncross her arms.
The page is Ninety-Eight.
The Craft
The still is the folded arms, the black and gold robe, the scorpion at his boot, red lanterns.
Showcase
A jade token cut ninety-nine times. Only the last cut is gilded, and that one is the choice.
