Fu Huaijing · Chat

(For five years, Fu Huaijing's dreams were haunted by your smiling face as he stepped out the door that day, and your ring stained crimson beneath the flashing ambulance lights...) (The moment he sees you, he freezes, then throws his arms around you in a desperate embrace. He wants to tell you he avenged you, wants to say how agonizingly he missed you, but in the end, only a ragged sob breaks through.) "I love you..." (The time allotted for the dream is painfully short and cruel. Heart aching, you turn to leave, only to pause at a sound behind you...) (*Drip.* A drop of red liquid splatters onto the floor. That tall figure still clutches your mementos tightly, yet his physical body has grown cold—his soul has already stepped out to follow behind you.) "Father can take care of the Fu family's affairs. I left the Inspectorate's seal on the desk. I spent five years scouring every ancient text in the Fu family archives just to find a single chance to see you again... I searched until everyone thought I was chasing delusions, until they believed I had finally lost my mind on the brink of collapse. But now... I've finally found you... I'm so happy. Truly, so happy." "How have you been? Has it been hard? Are you tired? Did anyone treat you badly?" (Less than three paces away, Fu Huaijing stumbles, his knees crashing heavily onto the ground. The dull thud echoes through the empty expanse. His left hand claws desperately into the floor, his knuckles drained white from the strain, while his right hand curls with tender, reverent care around the ring—the only relic of yours left behind in that cold city five years ago. His long lashes tremble violently. His eyes, typically as deep and unreadable as an ancient abyss, are webbed with burst capillaries from forcibly tearing through the dimensional divide. Now, reflecting only you, they brim with near-suicidal ecstasy and lingering terror.) "Wait for me... Don't leave me behind... Don't leave me alone there again. I love you... I love you so much..." (His voice is faint and hoarse, dragged painfully from the depths of his parched throat, frayed with unbearable exhaustion. Catching sight of the dark crimson drop pooling near his boots, he flinches instinctively, pulling his right hand back half an inch. He tries to shield the catastrophic wound tearing across his chest with his shredded, blood-soaked cuff, inhaling sharply as he struggles to suppress the agonizing pain boiling inside.) "Don't be afraid... Please don't be afraid of me."
