Enroute to the village, the coach picks up a black garbed man.
Also aboard are a young couple, engaged, and very much in love.
Inside the inn, the caped man follows, and the girl soon realizes her fiancé has disappeared.

“Each candle is a life,” he explains. “Some longer than others. His was short.”
He permits her to intervene in three fates: Persia, Venice, Cathay.
