A square forehead, flat-topped black hair and broad gray-green face make the creature's classic monster association direct. A thick neck rests above a large brown patchwork coat, yet two enormous palms meet at the chest to hold a very small yellow flower. He Fa's low eyelids slow the expectation of ferocity. The thick boots remain large; the body has not shrunk into a different size to look friendly.

I am willing to preserve this unexpected contact without making the flower a sign that instantly clears every question. Large hands can hold a flower and be careless elsewhere; one image offers only the present action, not a guarantee of eternal harmlessness. By the same logic, square forehead and stitches cannot testify for acts not yet performed. Judgment, if useful, should update with actual contact.

The flower shifts attention from shape to force. Keeping a small object intact within giant hands requires strength to be distributed, not simply increased. Such restraint is not a lack of ability; it asks the body to know what its object can bear. This is where I want to discuss care: not first giving oneself the gentlest appearance, but carefully recognizing another's limits amid contact marked by difference.

The patchwork coat does not hide its seams, reminding me that an uneven history need not all be erased to qualify for relationship. Yet history cannot exempt one from revision either. If these hands have held something poorly, their movement should change next time, without clinging to a complete narrative of 'this is how I am.'

The yellow flower remains between the hands, not raised as a medal. Size is still there, and strength too. For now, they are arranged small enough to let this flower remain a flower.
