[As the geyser slows down, and finally retreats, turning the fountain into something that overflows onto the hedge path and down into the ground waterways -- someone speaks, slightly overrun by the splashing of water and what is in effect artificial rain. It's echoey, a little hard to parse:]
"So, tell me a fun fact about you!"
[And then there's a jumble of noise, as though the reply were being played on max speed.
Moments later -- both in the small spray left and in the basin, if Chu Wenshan cares to approach it -- a number of images float into being. They're blurry, disturbed by the fountain's own existence, but:]
"Yikes, you wake up to the smell of smoke and fire. What do you do?"
[His own face is a little clearer, where he's sitting on a plush chair, perhaps speaking to someone. Perhaps just talking to himself.
He watches himself talk about putting out the fire, for the sake of a certain Mr. Ou's hair.
The scene plays a few times on repeat, blurring and stuttering a few times. Sometimes there's someone else in the chair, their reply garbled. Sometimes it's just him again. And again. And again.]
