[ xiao xingchen is not someone who feels the urge to ask questions often. not of others, and even less so of strangers. for this, however, he'll make an exception, even if the words are hard to parse. ]

I have been thinking
The people that we are in this place, the people we become —
Is there a chance in this world for those who are destined to commit evil?
Or is it futile to expect that anything will change when we return to our worlds?

And if it is futile then... does anything we do here matter?

I cannot trust to keep a promise made to myself.

[downswing]

You left your master too early.

[mingyues]

I did. I see that now.
I

I should have never left the mountain.

[downswing]

You should have left it strong.

[mingyues]

I thought I was

[downswing]

Steel yourself.

[mingyues]

I see why my master refuses to leave her mountain. Why she bans us from returning.

[downswing]

Explain.

[mingyues]

This world is too complicated. How could I ever hope to understand it? And if I cannot understand it how could I save people?

[downswing]

Know the people you mean to save first.

[mingyues]

The common people who are left to suffering from evil spirits. My nephew. Those who are dear to me, regardless of their mistakes, as long as they aim to do better.

I cannot decide. I merely wish to save the whole world, how can I judge who is worth saving and who isn't?

( What is black, and what is white?

Who is right, and who is wrong? )



Ask Wei Ying.

[mingyues]

Is he your moral compass, Hanguang-jun?

[downswing]

What of it?

[mingyues]

Nothing but happiness at knowing his heart is steady and his convictions strong.

[downswing]

What do you know of his heart?

[mingyues]

That he has a good heart. And that if my master were to meet him, she would be glad. Just like I am glad to have met him.

[downswing]

He is worthy.

[mingyues]

He is.
