Kazoo 16 - Video Post

[The video opens with a very somber-looking WangJi. Even more so than he normally looked for those who were actually able to tell. Even from the angle of the video, a very obvious pair of white ears from a rabbit kept bouncing into frame for a moment as WangJi made the post while holding Little Radish]

For those that knew him, Wei Ying... my husband... is no longer on the train. There are others still here, but he has departed the train.

[It was as simple as that.

For those that wish to find him, he can - predictably - be found in the Greenhouse with his two rabbits, Little Radish now snuggled in his arms and being a good comfort bunny while Little Carrot played with a random leaf that had been on the ground]

[With his beloved Xie Lian gone home, Hua Cheng has no ties to stay and eventually he will will himself to go home to rule his kingdom in Ghost City. Home is where Xie Lian is at. Even though he exists and is tethered by the train, without dianxia, he has no will and reason to linger. His mission here is finished.

But the Ghost King never forgets a kind soul. He won't tell Lan Wangji it's a farewell gift, a proof of their friendship]

I painted this because I understand you. So, you're welcome.

[WangJi glanced down at the painting as Hua Cheng said that. After hearing that he understood, he also understood a bit more]

Your cultivation partner... is gone as well?

[crimson_rain]

Mm. My prince and god is never gone. He simply went home. But it's complicated. I'm a Ghost king, a spirit. I ruled Ghost City back home where the souls go.

Although everyone is tethered to the train, my point of view is that my soul is tethered to him. So only he can destroy my ashes. So I remained here because of the train and...he's my very reason to exist. I exist because of him.

I apologize. Gone was the wrong word. Absent from the train.

[That was the better term]

I see. Hopefully, you will not be apart from him for long.

[crimson_rain]

No need to apologize.

[He gives him an easy smile] We're all always together no matter how far apart we are. I will join him and find him back home. I had loved him for 800 years and nothing changes. [So love does indeed last forever]

[He makes a bow. He is glad the painting is in good hands] Take care of the picture.

[achickenformylove]

I see. It is good that you will be able to find him. [800 years though... he thought a decade was a long time.

He nodded his head once and bent to pick up the picture, which was good because Little Carrot had started to sniff it. It was touching their house. It must be for him right?]

Of course. I will put it in my cabin where it will be safe and I can see it often.
