[this entire town has been tossed into uproarious chaos and the only thing lan sizhui can think to do is find those he's closest to; there's a good handful he would worry about during a situation like induced paranoid aggressiveness, especially taking into account what a lot of them have been through, but it's fortunate for him, he won't have to search too long for one of them, at least.
his own misleading thoughts cannot be trusted, he knows this, and yet it's still difficult to tamp down the brief images that flash through his mind here and there, even through his frenzied running. it helps that he is on a mission, something he can pour more focus into rather than let himself get overly distracted by other things he's aware likely aren't real at the moment. (they are still quite vivid, nevertheless, so it makes sense why he gives pause from time to time, but he's always quick to keep right on going.)
while rushing out from a side street and turning to continue onward down the main road, sizhui comes to a dead stop at the sight of wei wuxian, relief flooding through him that's followed up with concern when he sees his movements, recognizes the look in his eyes, and realizes there's something terribly wrong.]
Xian-gege!
[worried or not, it won't keep him from making a beeline toward him after he's shaken off the slight stupor he was overtaken by for those few seconds.]
