Summary
Zhou Zishu regarded him with empty eyes, as though he did not understand the innuendo. “You died,” he said quietly, as if that explained everything.
He paused, because it did not. He searched for something more to say, but all that came were those two words. You died.
Wen Kexing’s smile faded. For a fleeting moment Zhou Zishu thought he had understood, despite his own wordlessness. After all, he was his zhiji—the one who knew him.
Or at least, he had once believed so.
Then Wen Kexing laughed. It was awkward, uncertain, but it was laughter, and Zhou Zishu realized he understood nothing at all.

Snowed in inside the World's Armory, Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing are forced to confront the consequences of their mutual deception. Post-canon angst with a hopeful ending.
