Don't be sorry. I am more worried for you!
I was wondering...I have only known him for a month. He was a friend and I was about to invite him for lunch. He didn't answer his call, so I was wondering if you have seen him.

We used to share a room. Jingyi and Zizhen and I.
And now it's empty other than me and the things they have gotten since they came here. But I know they will be all right. I know Zizhen will be all right, and you'll see him, at least.
He is a good cultivator. It's something to look forward to.

[So, he was his roommate. Sizhui the elder regarded this solemnly.]
I know he will be right. Zizhen, Jingyi...I know in my heart that I'll see them again. And you will too.
[However, it's not fair that he's alone and they're both gone. He won't let him endure this hard time alone. His company is all he can offer.]
I am here. If you would like to hang out.

Hanguang-jun... Isn't that for when you want to have a future together? We only have the present. No yesterday, no tomorrow...
It's why I don't want to bind him to only myself. It seems cruel to him. I want him to be happy, not heartbroken or an oath-breaker.
It's
Some.
A maiden. Another young master. The other Lan disciple who went home.
Elder brother - the me from your world - maybe, too? I'm not sure. He has yet to really get to know Jin Ling.
I want him to be mine. I do. But I want more for him to be happy and loved and cared for even when I can't do it for him. Especially when I can't do it for him.
Do you think a suit is the best thing to do?

[ Sizhui hides his face in both of his hands for a moment. It's... so complicated. ]
Yes, but at the same time, it's different. It's like. Jin Ling is the one who makes me complete. But I, or he, or sometimes both of us, also like someone else, too? Like Maiden Yuri's gentleness and dedication and acceptance of having to sacrifice herself, or Harry's hope despite his sadness, or Jingyi's always doing the right thing, or trying to - he goes on night hunts despite being terrified of ghosts, you know? Each of them is some one I want to see happy, to join in the happiness of. Each of them makes my heart warm.
But the one who sets it on fire is Jin Ling.

I hear you've embraced a life of sin and depravity.
Please let me offer my congratulations.

[ It takes him a little bit to sort out who it is.
And then a little more to figure out what he means. And then a little more to sort out what he feels.
What he doesn't feel is offended.
What he does feel is... sad, but that's about normal just now. ]
Sect leader Nie. I thank you for the consideration, but it is not easy for me to accept congratulations over something which, even not quite at the degree you are speaking of, is hurting someone very dear to me.

[Aha, whoops. This kid really is Hanguang-Jun's son...
At least he's texting the right Sizhui this time.]
... I apologize, Lan Sizhui. Teasing your father is a fond pastime of mine. He told me "He has learned the likes of your modernity" and I promised to congratulate you for it.

[ That, he is. But also Wei Wuxian's, with the whole following his heart and then regretting the consequences... not that lying to Hanguang-jun as ever an option. ]
I... see.
Even so, I believe the words were a grief, rather than praise for me. And hurting him is one of the last things I wish to do.

Not a grief, Lan Sizhui. Rather, a... a restrained outcry.
He attempts to understand, in order that he can better support you in your choices. That's why he came to me with it. If it were a grief he would not share it with me.
Since I came to this world, he has found my behavior to be more shocking and unacceptable than ever. And yet, somehow, we are closer to friends than we ever were before.
I do not know you, and I often struggle to understand him, but he is not hurt by your choices. He is confused, and he seeks to know how best to be a supportive father.

Do you believe that he has been less than the best father?
We are friends, Lan Sizhui. Different though we are.
