Punching the sky

Cheng and Mei enter the tower from the basement parking lot. Mei identifies herself at the entrance with a fake account and the building computer opens the glass doors with a high-pitched beep. “This way,” Mei says, pointing up a curved corridor. A large and very long spiral of glass runs around the tower, running vertically throughout the building. The two of them run like wildfire along the corridor that never seems to end

After a few minutes, the walls of the spiral turns from opaque to transparent, allowing a view from above of the outcast city of Kowloon. As he runs, Cheng thinks that no matter how bleak and corrupt, that cold, damp city actually seems, but that is the only place where he really wants to live. As he climbs beyond the dense clouds, Cheng is suddenly forced to cover his eyes with his hands. A violent light, unknown to him, filters through the windows of the building... sunlight! As soon as Mei sees that Cheng stops and he is disoriented, she slows down. She understands. She hugs him and they kiss feeling the warmth of the scarlet rays
