( Oh, he can see why some people would choose the embrace of forgetfulness over what tends to be the harsher edge of reality. One only has to see some of the people who have found their way to Ghost Valley - not every one a vicious, hardened criminal. Wen Kexing is aware that to some, the unforgiving mountain of Qingya and the Water of Lethe provide respite, safety, a chance to start again.

It is unfortunate that it has done him so unkindly. He might have been tempted to let it live.

But instead of answering he makes a small, noncommittal noise. It is presumably for the best, whatever he might have said would have surely been cut off by the commotion. Wen Kexing's steps don't falter as he moves away, towards the nearest arched exit. He has to assume they're being led somewhere, but the where he'd rather not find out. After all, everything here has been vicious so far.

( Called to Wei Wuxian. Wen Kexing could certainly make the leap, wouldn't even fall out of breath for it, but he has no idea about his companion. Abandoning him after he's done everything to help would be a coward's action. )
