Kirsch Virch Guide

And what of the name? Perhaps Kirsch Virch is an anagram for desire and avoidance, sweetness and astringency braided together. Perhaps it is the surname of a once-legendary inventor who wired empathy into streetlamps; perhaps it is nothing at all, a sound we use when we want to summon possibility. The ambiguity is deliberate. The city refuses to explain itself all at once because to do so would be to ossify a process that is happiest when it is question.
