Red and Black motif in FTKMF
In chapters, 21-22 Loung and two of her siblings are "adopted" by another family. This turns out to be an enforced labor situation and not an adoption. Loung has dark thoughts about her family and the community around her and feels safe nowhere. She stops to trust the Youn soldiers after one of them attempts to rape her. The underwear of the Youn soldier is bright red, this is something Youn remembered more than other details. When he assaults her his face became darker and sinister. This fits with the theme in FTKMF about black being a color of evil and sadness.
