oh, that's unfortunate. yeah, i think if this place took me a few weeks before they did, i would be in your same position. instead, it's after some big events happened to me and so i'm at peace.
really? that's unfortunate. do you have a different reputation back home than what you appear to be here?
I am glad to hear you are at peace with your life before being taken. That is a true gift.
To most, yes. Specifically to my family and those with whom I spent most of my life. In more recent times, I have made friends with people who have allowed me to change for the better and I am eternally grateful to them. I only wish my family could see how I have changed.
[ that... oddly resonates with him. he thinks of his brother, of how fractured their relationship has become, and he wishes so much that jiang cheng would be able to see things the way wei wuxian does. ]
i understand that. to be seen by your family as a whole person is a desire that i think anyone can relate to. i hope you're able to see them again.
[Brothers at odds? These two should be best friends. Loki doesn’t know anything about Wei Wuxian’s relationship with his brother, or even that he has one (at least not yet) but he would hope they can see a way through, like he can with Thor. His brother might annoy him with his overly optimistic ways, but Loki does love him.]
Especially when you have done wrong in their eyes and you wish for them to see how much more there can be. And thank you. It is rather unlikely with how things were when I came here, but I have not lost all hope.
[ Oh, they'll have to bond over their brothers soon. They most certainly will.
But ah... that sentence is like it was aimed for Wei Wuxian's heart as a target with how hard it hits. Family that sees you as having done wrong... ha. Hahahaha. ]
we might be more similar than i realized, gongzi. my family... doesn't exactly see me in the best light either. it's been a long time since i've been welcomed home.
[Indeed they will. Loki has learned much on the subject of family in recent years.]
I am sorry to hear that. I have come to understand, at least in my own case, that much of what happened between myself and my family was a misunderstanding. Not that I did not do wrong, but that the reason I was lashing out in the first place might not have been the whole story. I do hope there is a way back for you and your family. But even if not, I hope you know that not all family is those you are related to by blood. Friends count just as much.
then i truly hope you can tell them the whole story one day.
[ but as for him... he's not sure. jiang cheng knows the full story now, but he's still upset with wei wuxian, still can't stand him. who knows if they'll ever be the same? ]
you're right though, about friends. i have other people i love now who aren't my family and they make me feel just as whole. so, i don't feel too bad about it.
Thank you, I appreciate that. I have hope I will be able to do that one day as well, but I am not holding my breath considering our current circumstances.
I am glad to hear you have others in your life. I do not like the thought of my friends feeling alone. Though I will hold some hope for you that you can mend things with anyone else in your life you wish to.
