Come, little Baoyu. It is time for you to visit the elders.

Sorrow.

They were always so kind to me, the elders. But I wanted to play with Daiyu instead.

With time, I stopped being so afraid of them. But...

... they always speak as though they know every little thing about me.

My only use is to be a window, an amusement for the elders in their long, tedious lives.

I don't need to talk much. I only need to see as many interesting things as possible and wear a pleasant smile for them.

It cannot be helped, young master.

The prudent option would be to witness it all in silence.

…….

I wish Xiren could be back to her old self again.

But I know that can't happen. So I smiled.
