A woman wearing a shimmering diadem and simple gown rests her hand on the shoulder of a fierce panther-like cat. Its eyes glow green as it bares its fangs. They stand on a rocky hilltop set against an oversaturated purple sky stippled with stars. Over her shoulder a moon looms large with a wispy ethereal trail snaking and rising up. Three spaceships burn hard rocketing past. A smaller moon, partially obscured by the mountainous horizon, is tinted pink in the gradient of the lower sky.

A 饝惔饝惗饝悷饝惗 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
