Summary
Xiao's heart is pumping erratically. His shoulder is burning hot, it is on fire. It hurts so bad. Don’t stop, don’t– The traveler's arm moves along his shoulder and he grabs it tighter, desperately. Don’t leave, don’t. Aether smiles at him warmly. So warm, so warm.
A brand of molten iron is being melted into his shoulder blade and his knees buck slightly underneath him. Warm, so warm, the traveler directs a confused look at Xiao until the others land on the Chamber.
You’re leaving, please don’t leave-- I can’t breathe. The traveler lets go and it is agonizing. The heat leaves, and he is cold again instantly, the chill like icy frost. I’m so cold, please come back.
Xiao shivers in the rain, staring blankly at the traveler. He turns back, grinning oh-so brightly at Xiao. “Thank you for saving me, Xiao.” It hurts, it hurts so bad. Come back.
The voices are a chill that flows from Xiao's brain all the way down his body in waves of frostbite. He's used to them, and they'll never go away. No matter what he's tried.
