There is nothing in this one for her.

It's okay to find the faith to saunter forward
With no fear of shadows spreading where you stand
And you'll breathe easier just knowing that the worst is all behind you


She has listened to it many times--all of these songs many times--and there is nothing here for her. She has always wanted for comfort and she has always been alone. The worst has always been before her.

But surely there is something in this for Wei Wuxian, who has reached the end of his struggles; who has someone who loves him.

Does it frighten you, that monsters can love and be loved? It terrifies me.

She twists, and peers over the edge of the bed; her makeup is smeared, and her fingers leave black smears on the sheets. She looks like a frightened child; or like a goblin peering from the foot of your bed. "Wei Wuxian?" she says tentatively.
