[ it unfortunately, still works as intended. he's trying to hide the fact his face is neon even if it's obvious enough to be a marquee in times square. ]
Good! Of course. You move... very good.
[ help the way he pauses entirely to immediately judge himself for going tongue tied ]
[ his face is so red, eiden just covers his mouth for a second to try and keep from laughing. ]
We should dance again sometime soon.
[ remember you died on the week they got drunk and danced together? huh? remember? i remember. pepperidge farm remembers. and eiden remembers too, which is why his voice goes very warm and soft, tender like a raw wound. ]
[ HE HATE THIS it's terrible they finally may have had more than a quick moment and he fucking went out and died immediately. damnit wolfwood, just because you're going through a turbulent relationship... (no) ]
I'd like that. Before... [ we say goodbye for realsies. ...but actually, now that he thinks about it, he never did get around to those important questions earlier ] things change yet again. That reminds though... how does Klein feel about visitors?
[ goddamn it sy why did you have to die the week you could have had even more backdate pc with me i'm gay!!!!! ]
I'm the Grand Sorcerer... I can probably have whatever other-worldly visitors I wanted.
[ with a warm smile, for a second, he doesn't have to think about the game, just... this. ]
I don't know if that's even possible after all of this, but... if it is? You could visit whenever. You'd always have a place with me, if you'd like that.
[ THEY GOT TOO GAY THE HOMOPHOBIA KICKED HIM OFF THE CLOUD (spoilers) ]
Good. That's good.......
[ he nods, clearly thinking hard about something ]
Because I..... I thinkI'mgonnagrabBingheandescapethesystem.
[ he sits there staring wide eyed at eiden for a moment. because like. saying it out loud makes it far more real. he's truly gonna try this crazy hairbrained scheme of his when he gets back. ]
Binghe's sword, Xin Mo can cut through dimensions. I don't know if it works how I want it to but sure just trying will be good enough, right? Surely with a place in mind it can travel directly there... Though I don't know if I'll even get that far with all my points being gone, maybe its best if I don't return at all......?
[ BUT THEN HE'D BE SAD ABOUT HIS BINGHE AND KNOWING HIM, HE'LL JUST CUT THROUGH VARIOUS DIMENTIONS UNTIL HE FINDS HIS SHIZUN SO REALLY THERE'S NO WINNING- ]
If you think he'd be willing to come with... I'm not going to say no, not even for a second.
[ a warmth rises up to his face. damn. wow. that was... honestly something he wasn't sure how to broach so he's a little grateful shen yuan threw himself into it. ]
If we've been able to move through time, I wonder if that's something we could manage for you... back to a time before you lost all of your points... then you wouldn't have to worry. Right? Fuck the system... if you can take him away from it too, then why not? If a sword can cut through dimensions... it's worth testing.
[ softly ] The Altars worry me, but... that doesn't stop me from putting you both up somewhere safe...
But that might work, yeah..... Before the conference discussion perhaps? No, Binghe deserves to know about his mother but....
There's not really any time between the mission and failing it because I can't leave with Binghe in the moment but perhaps...? No, that wouldn't work either. No matter, I'll loop it again and again until we have it right.
[ he shakes his head ]
It's worth it. Our perfect ending isn't in that place. [ weird. sounds like he's quoting something ]
[ you can't kiss a ghost or whatever the fuck state shen yuan is right now, but he leans up anyways to touch his face on impulse. ]
I'll make sure of it. I know how much he means to you... [ "my protagonist." he remembers the vr room, and it's half the reason he'd lost it when shen yuan died on top of it all. ] Your perfect ending. I'll do whatever it takes for you to achieve it... okay?

It'll be fine. As long as we keep doing our best, then, whatever happens, will be the best end we make for ourselves.
