My life is over, Lin Shu wanted to say, but he was distracted by the rustle of the wind through the grasses outside the tent.
No, it was not the wind. Nor was it the whisper of the thousands of ghosts who had been crowding Lin Shu’s feverish sleep for days.

Summary
Meng’s messages to Jinling and Jingyan are short and carefully edited. He writes about the skirmishes that lead to battles and the battles that lead to stalemates. He writes about the snow, how it drifts in the valleys and low places, how it melts beneath the sun and freezes again during the night. He writes about his generals, his lieutenants, and his captains. He writes about his strategist.
He writes, Mei Changsu is a skilled tactician. His insights have led to profitable battles with low casualty rates. He silently mouths to himself, He can no longer ride a horse. I don’t know how he will travel back to Jinling, and then writes, With Mei Changsu’s assistance, we will win this war quickly and with lower costs than anticipated.
He says to himself, “Mei Changsu is the cost,” and then covers his mouth with his hand, the scales of his gauntlet pricking at his skin.

Meng spends a cold winter caught in a war with two fronts--the Greater Yu army on one front, and a dying strategist on the other. It's basically ten thousand some-odd words of Meng-feels, Meng&Lin Shu bromance, and the slow breaking of a man's heart as he watches his best friend die.

For several seconds, there is no Son Goku. There is nothing but pure bleeding, shattering, burning grief, and a tiny knot holding it back from its full capacity. Raging like an open-ocean storm, it pounds away at the knot seeking full freedom, the freedom to scream the entirety of its pain up to the cruel heavens.
The diadem begins to crack.
