[The user can't be seen just yet but he can be heard. The camera is pointed at a large soaking tub in a modern bathroom and the speaker seems overly excited about it all.]

Look at this! It's quite amazing, isn't it? The water is right there, just with a twist.

[A hand reaches out to turn a nob and water rushes out.]

Both hot and cold! It's genius!

Do you think this is easy to break? It looks quite sturdy.

Oh! This is exciting! What great things this place has! I want to try it out!

...

I know....


[He pauses for a while before trying to smile and liven himself up. He can’t let himself feel down for too long, it wouldn’t do at all.]

But, it’s a prettier face? So I can’t complain? It’s a small price to pay for a second life?

Wei Ying is Wei Ying.

Thank you Lan Zhan.

[He can’t help but smile a little, and it was genuine.]

( Of all the people in all the world who never earned a favour from Wangji, here is Wei Wuxian, paid another — he switches to video, because Wei Ying asked, and it's the same familiar gloom and doom set to wash the video world. )


Nothing to thank me.

[noenvy]

You finally let me see you!

[And his smile got a little brighter.]

Perhaps, but I still appreciate it.

[downswing]

Little to see.

[ Other than Wangji's troubled and deeply complicated relationship with holding his device so the camera hits at a semi-respectable angle. ]

Whichever the world, we are friends.

There's a lot to see! I couldn't even hear your voice. Even if you don't say much, isn't that unfair? You have a good voice and you have a good face, you shouldn't hide it.

[And it was a little funny to see him struggle, it would always be fun to see him struggle!]

Of course! No matter what world and who, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji will always be good friends!

[But was that what Lan Wangji wanted? He so very much wanted to meddle and his tone of voice was nothing but playful. Dangerous.]

[downswing]

( Can it be? A smile? Surely not. )

Take care.

[noenvy]

[The smallest of smiles, but he will love them none the less.]

I will! And you do as well.

Don't be a stranger.
