[ wenzhou is a roiling sea of emotions, but there's a dawnslight on the horizon of it. for all that he's wrung out, tired, angry, he's just - he's not giving up. he'll bolster eiden back in response to the warmth. ]
Mistakes mean progress, right? Someone said that once, probably, even if it does feel pretty miserable right now. [ a wry laugh ] But you don't have to stay and watch, if you don't feel up to it. I wouldn't take that choice from anyone.
