[Lan Xichen takes a deep breath and releases it slowly. Whether or not Myr is only saying it for his benefit, he takes the words to heart. Sometimes, even if you do your best, you really can't do everything. He still blames himself for many things, but he has to admit that when Jin Guangyao wants to, he can hide his true feelings away forever.

Maybe the problem was less in being able to see them or understand them, and more that Lan Xichen had not made his own clear?]

I believe... He did not mean you harm. It was wrong of him, and he should not have treated you that way. No matter his intentions, he does things sometimes that should not be allowed.

[It hurts to say that out loud. Each word comes out a bit more delicately, like he's too tender and has to guide it.]

But I should not believe that any of us are fully incapable of hurting those we love. Even if we try.

Nevertheless, this time please let me pay for what was done.
