Behind him are the halls of a great castle, with sunlight streaming in through the stained glass windows. There is peace here, even with the world around him now so empty, save for the sound of his music playing on and on. ]
A child born to a tragic fate, destined to drag others with himself into ruin. How very sad… [ The reflection cocks his head to the side, regarding WuXian with still more interest. ]
Do you think you are showing him a kindness? I tell you now that your mercies burden him as much as our sins do. What arrogance, to try and force happiness upon the unblessed, as if you can ever change their destiny.
