So a god walks into a bar...
WHO: Xie Lian, Ignacio Varga, Stephen Strange, maybe more?
WHEN: In the second phase of Alem's siege
WHERE: Around the arkets and near the Hellgate
WHAT: Xie Lian has some existential conversation while feeding stray kids and investigating the gates to hell, as you do.
WARNINGS: It's Xie Lian, so he might offhandedly mention some of his past which includes suicide and torture, and a whole lot of people dying.

[It's the second time he's said that, and in a strange, pointed manner, and the 'much, much longer' doesn't seem like he's exaggerating for comical purposes either.
Xie Lian shrugs at the sympathy.]
It's a siege, and they've been living this way for months. It doesn't make it easier, but people actually adapt pretty fast. That's why they survive.
At least thanks to you they'll have had one good meal today. They'll remember that. That's what's important.
