The crimson leaf that blew past looked the twin of the one she'd picked up in the palace courtyard-a bloodied hand. The phrase "the crimson leaf that blew past looked the twin of the one she'd picked up in the palace courtyard" is used to evoke a sense of similarity between two events. The first event is something seen, and the second is something felt. The first event is something good; the second is something terrible.
