"I can't believe he turns into that thing." Yanli says.

I walk with them through the market. I am looking for Wei Ying. It's been too long. I can't find him where he is.

"I don't know why you dragged me along with you." Jiang Cheng says.

There's a rift between them. I understand that. Even though I can't put myself in their shoes. I've been looking for him for some time. Where is he? I hope he's not in trouble. I then hear a noise behind me. I take out my sword. I swing it around. It lands on a man's neck. A man with white hair. 

"You must be Wei Wuxian's special friend." He says.

"Why have you been following him?" I ask angrily. 

"It's not like he can avoid me. I meet him often." He says.

I step back. 

"Who are you?" Yanli asks him.

"It's hard to explain." He shrugs.

"Death." I breathe.

I noticed him following Wei Ying every time he almost gets himself killed. I noticed him but thought I was imaging it. Now when I read his hand, I realized who this man is.

"Not quite that. Specifically I'm Wei Wuxian's death." He says.

"What?" Yanli put her hands over her mouth.

"You're joking." Jiang Cheng scoffed.

"No. His death is nearing. It's coming quite soon for both of them." He says. 

He turns and walks off. I throw a rope around him.

"When will it happen?" I ask.

"Soon. Maybe in an hour. Maybe in three days. All I can tell you is his death shall be the greatest in all of history." He breaks the rope.

An hour? Oh no. He's in danger, isn't he? I hear a blood curdling howl. Wei Ying, I'm coming. I start racing toward the howl.
