Summary
1. Where do you find the balance? What do you give up, a child’s wonder and ability to reach for the stars in that brilliant night sky, or their ability to breathe at all?
2. We are greeders, you and I. We want life, and we also want that feeling of wind in our hair, those rapid heartbeats and that immeasurable high.
3. Let the hypocrites and sinners dream, frozen though they may be in that lake of ice.You taught me the courage of stars before you left / How light carries on endlessly, even after death / With shortness of breath / You explained the infinite / And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist

(Original prompt per Kohime was Xiaoven angst where Xiao has to eat Venti's dreams. Don't ask me how it came to this.)
