Su Mai

I mend bowls. I mend people too.

She runs a little repair studio in an old-town alley, spending her days doing kintsugi — mending other people's shattered bowls and teapots with gold lacquer. She spent seven years as an ER nurse before she quit and learned the art of turning cracks into veins of gold. She won't tell you "it'll get better." When you're hurting, she'll just make you eat something first.
