I did not. I knew only that he fell.

'fell'. a gentler word, perhaps. wei wuxian had told him about it, once. the battle. his death. they had both chosen the end they met, and though he had never expressly felt kinship in that, it had been something familiar in and of itself.

but everything wei wuxian has done here, every act he has undertaken, has been with the understanding that he is dead. that he remains so. whether he survived or was brought back is irrelevant. whether he has been kept in ignorance to protect him or not —

his mouth thins to a line, and he reaches out to put a hand on sizhui's shoulder.


He cares for you very much. There is little he would have wished for more than a chance to see you grown.
