Simple, extremely religious, and highly disciplined college classmate of mine died in a fire at a well-known sex sauna … neatly dressed, dead of asphyxiation …what exactly was the good fellow, our classmate, doing there? We could not ask, and she could not answer….” – “Diary of a Dead Man” – Lu Xun
