Summary
"And yet, for all Xiao resists the notion of himself as a freed spirit, he recognizes the ways in which his body yearns for liberation. There are periods of time where he cannot stop aching from the burden of being what he is, which contrasts so greatly with what he is coming to want. He wants to be known and he wants to let go; he wants to know what it’s like for his heart to beat in earnest and he wants the calluses on his hands to heal. ... He has always had tender inclinations, but was never allowed to make anything of them. He was beaten and ruined and convinced to be something he was not."
Xiao has spent far too long denying himself the chance to act on his feelings for Aether.
