What's with him? Xian seems so different. He looks different. His arm is demonic. I pick up the bowl of soup. He didn't even drink any. He spewed out blood. I remember him always begging me for more soup. Now I don't even recognize him. I let out a breath. 

"Yanli, what's wrong?" Jiang Cheng sits down.

"He's so different." I mutter.

"I know. Being in that prison did a number on him." Jiang Cheng says. 

"He's so much more...angry." I say.

He's distant. He's angry. I don't even know who he is. I don't know what he is. I can't see Wei Wuxian, my little brother. Tears start slipping from my face. I've longed for his return. I've longed to see him again. But now... Jiang Cheng grabs my hand.

"I'll bring him back. Trust me." Jiang Cheng says. 

"I hope so." I sigh.
