honestly. . . i don't know too much about this place. i haven't been here nearly long enough to start unraveling its mysteries. but if you can find someone who has, they might be able to tell you more.
I am attempting to find out more. Unfortunately there is no one yet who can give a definitive answer.
[ He takes a minute to check Akira's profile, pretending not to see all the sex stuff on it but seeing he is eighteen.. young, as he had suspected. Around Sizhui's age. He cannot help but think of how it would be if his sweet boy was stuck here all alone. Or how he would have handled it if he was here alone at eighteen... ]
Do you have people here that you know? Friends. Clan members. Parents?
[ yeah, it would be weird. but you never know! it makes him wonder... if friends and classmates often end up here together, what about siblings? parents? children? what if sizhui was here? LITTLE DOES HE KNOW... ]

[ wait: ]
I speak of platonic companionship. Troubles shared between friends.

how would YOU define your relationship with him?
no subject
[ you can't just... call him out like that and make him talk about feelings! though he does decide to come back and answer after a while. ]
Zhiji.

except that is not what wei wuxian wants. it cannot be. ]
A soulmate does not necessarily mean romantic love, if that is what you seek.
no subject
. . . i suppose it would be.
[a wry smile on his end of the watch]
well, either way, i'm glad you two have each other. this place can be a little

have you heard the part where supposedly finishing the game grants you a wish?
no subject
[ and of course the next question would be: ]

i know what you mean. it IS nice having them here.
