"That wouldn't stop a place like this, they've used up so many parts of me already."
And then, helpless, he's taking another step forward. His caution is a suddenly absent thing, in the face of Zhou Zishu's exhausted voice, heart throwing itself against the cage of his ribs. It's been months since he last saw him. The one beyond continues to spit the kind of accusations Wen Kexing has never heard falling from Zhou Zishu's lips, vicious and sharp and aiming only to wound, face twisted into a mockery of the man Wen Kexing cares for. It must mean something, it must. His own reflection wanted to hurt him too.
"Ah-Xu?"
Careful, like he's expecting him to bolt.
"Ah-Xu, look at me, not at it. Come on, you'll find it funny. I've never been this badly put together before. I fell into those baths not a shichen ago. You can mock me for it, if you'll just turn around."
