A betrayal to the one strategy she's relied on, that her grief may not catch up to her. The same grief that carved her in half until fury honed the pieces into a weapon. If she keeps moving, if she keeps seeking, then what is behind has not a chance to advance on her where she is vulnerable.
She draws in a long breath to relent all the same, exhaling too-hot air in the process.
Her steps are quick and efficient, unnervingly focused that no one dare intercept. She only brings herself to a stop once sanctuary has been found, hoping it is indeed close to the water. She looks to Lan Wangji, and gives the terse shake of her head, lifting her hand between them once more. )
No, not any longer. At first — I felt pain, as though hundreds of needles had been set upon my skin. It only lasted hours, something inside my hand attempting to assume shape from within. I must've fought it back.
