[ Xiao Xingchen is probably having a worse day. He wakes up confused, terrified and very distraught. Because he's supposed to be dead. So dead, in fact, that he shouldn't be able to reincarnate. He doesn't think that's what has happened though. He's still blind and after feeling along his own body and what he's wearing, he can only conclude that he's still in the same body. The same familiar blindfold around his eyes, and the addition of a bandage around his throat. He doesn't need to feel under it to know that there's a nasty scar there.
After a moment's panicked confusion, wondering if Xue Yang had somehow been able to bring him back after all, he slowly gets up. His sword is strapped to his back too, but he doesn't touch it as he begins to move until he hears someone speak.
"Who does this look like to you?" the man asks when Xiao Xingchen comes close enough. The question catches him off guard. He has no idea what the man is looking at, of course. ]
No one. [ A pause as he gestures to his face. ] I cannot see.
