Discontented,
I laugh and ask the bleak sky
To answer why these years have passed by
Why can't there be a world with no goodbyes and no separations
No worries and no grief
To answer why these years have passed by
Why can't there be a world with no goodbyes and no separations
No worries and no grief

Date: 2022-10-02 05:47 pm (UTC)this is too far back in the timeline for us to get into it more, but they're awkward and upset but still try to comfort each other. when Lan Wangji's spiritual energy doesn't fix her blinded eye, he gives her a shop card to strengthen her weak core, so her body can give her more protection against the curse mark on its own. that doesn't fix it either, but it hurts less until they figure out some way to address the huli jing.
the space of time between now and the moment a way to fix Wei Wuxian's fading shadow emerges is going to feel very long.]
