This is a slightly delayed notice, but if you liked the songs in tender feelings like water, the OST has been released here!

Time flies, doesn't it? Already, a year has passed since the release of this short story about the spirit and the girl in red.

The title tender feelings like water comes from the Chinese idiom 柔情似水, meaning a deep and profound affection, originating from the poem, "Immortals at the Magpie Bridge" (鹊桥仙), a love poem featuring the Cowherd and Weaver Girl from that story in Chinese mythology. Think Ancient Chinese Romeo and Juliet without the dying part.

Reading the story, you might have been curious about the names of the water spirit and the girl in red. Perhaps you were disappointed that their names were never said in the story proper, or perhaps you thought that I simply never named them. However, in fact, they did have names! For one reason or another, their names just never got put into the story.

To satisfy your curiosity, here are their names:

• The girl in red: (雯淑燕) Wen Shuyan
• The water spirit: (洪娴) Hong Xian

There may be no point in a water spirit having a name. In fact, it may even be strange for the water spirit to have a name, but the name she does have, and it's a precious name that the girl in red likes to call her with.

If you're curious about the meanings of their names, pulling up a Chinese dictionary won't hurt.

For the time being, the story of these two girls has ended. Do you believe that they've properly reached their happy ending? I hope you enjoyed tender feelings like water.

If you haven't played it yet, definitely do go ahead and read it!
