huaisang screams, and he makes sure jiang cheng hears him.
huaisang doesn’t remember how he got to this point, only that he is. his heart is beating fast, not nearly fast enough from when he was being threatened with his brother’s saber or thinking up what to do next in the grand scheme of things, but fast enough.
for a moment, he even feels delirious, is this, (no,) is this what dage felt like all this time? (no.)
his head is racing, and when he looks to his hands, they’re shaking and he feels restless as he paces the room, his hand clenching tightly on the fan located by his side.

“y-you… jiang cheng, you are so incredibly stupid,”
jiang cheng, on one corner of the room, fumes in the so-familiar way he does when he gets called out, regardless if the other party were right or wrong.
“what did you say?”

“what did you say?”
“he is right here. and you are wasting your time away with frivolous activities to keep yourself from making up with him.”
(insert a few more scenes here.)
“i have nothing, jiang cheng! i’m not even sure if my brother’s soul will ever be reincarnated or if he’ll remain

“i have nothing, jiang cheng! i’m not even sure if my brother’s soul will ever be reincarnated or if he’ll remain
imprisoned by the destruction that killed him. and before that,” he points to jiang cheng’s chest, his voice turning small but all the more vicious, “before wei wuxian came back alive, neither did you,” he laughs, as if jiang cheng was some joke,
“what’s hilarious about this is you were in my shoes, too.”
“you act so high and mighty, but between the two of us, i was the one who accepted my brother’s death and moved to avenge it. while you, you,” he laughs, again, “you couldn’t even accept it, jiang cheng, you were always
“you act so high and mighty, but between the two of us, i was the one who accepted my brother’s death and moved to avenge it. while you, you,” he laughs, again, “you couldn’t even accept it, jiang cheng, you were always
waiting because you never believed for one second you lost him—you always thought he was hiding, you always thought he had just betrayed you—but hadn’t it been you? weren’t you the one who gave up on him? and when you did get him back, you did nothing to keep him.”
“thirteen years ago, you turned your back on your brother. and thirteen years after, you are still only watching him. i wonder how you sleep at night knowing you did what you did. you don’t blame him for your sister’s death but you continue to crucify him and act as if he did.
you can ask him to apologize and he will and the world will consider it done, but you,”
“whenever i think of him, i often wished he never forgives you. you are blind and /incredibly/ selfish. all his life, he has only ever tried to protect you and your family but the one time
“whenever i think of him, i often wished he never forgives you. you are blind and /incredibly/ selfish. all his life, he has only ever tried to protect you and your family but the one time
he chose to protect a few others, you turned your back against him. even leaving you were to protect you.”
“the only difference between us is that i fought while you remained a coward. but somehow, you still get the better end of the bargain. you get jin ling,
“the only difference between us is that i fought while you remained a coward. but somehow, you still get the better end of the bargain. you get jin ling,
wei wuxian is alive, and i,” he laughs, this time, at himself, “i get my brother’s corpse.”
