HONG KONG: A gas mask lovingly adjusted, a hand squeezed before approaching police lines and a frantic search through swirls of tear gas - Abby and Nick's relationship has blossomed on the barricades during Hong Kong's long summer of protest.
Opposition to the bill fueled mass rallies. Peaceful protest gave way to pitched battles with police. The couple travel to protests together, transforming from ordinary, inconspicuous students into black-clad rebels in shopping mall toilets, faces covered by gas masks and goggles as they take up positions a few rows back from the hardcore demonstrators who throw bricks at the police.
This time protests show little sign of abating, with the extradition bill sharpening their focus. The Bill, which has been suspended but not formally withdrawn, is an emblem of Beijing's creeping control over a city which enjoys unique freedoms.
