love that little guy so much, same as always. i really loved his conversation with yunli where he was discussing when he truly felt fear for the first time and has been trying to find happiness again. he tries so hard all of the time and even with defeat fresh in his mind he still says his reason to keep going is bc he loves the feeling of giving it his all against any obstacle. i'm looking forward to seeing how he continues to grow and i think it's interesting how through yunli's comments about his sword and how he isn't deserving of it we're getting another look at his emotional turmoil and a hint at the danger that can come from it, whether it's directed towards himself or others. i need to fold him in bubble wrap
