“What’s in this? It’s supposed to make me grow younger.
“The woman who makes these is a slippery sort. Very evasive.
“Still, my husband keeps cheating on me, always with slender 20 year olds with perfect skin.
“I wonder what she cooks these with. Her reputation is bad.
“I know she came to Hong Kong from the mainland, where she was an abortionist.
“Is it so much to want to be young again? Have nice skin, be desirable.”
One closes one’s eyes, suppresses qualms, justifies swallowing the taboo.
