S833I7

You, grandmother, and the elders have always been caged by your desperate search for immortality.

Searching for ways to perpetuate your existence, searching day and night for new ways to be freed from death.

But grandmother, have you ever freed yourself from that very suffering, even for a moment?

... I cannot allow myself to be attached to such moments of insignificance.

They are but foolish human afflictions, a waste of intellect.

Every emotion is such a fleeting thing, mere sparks in moments that will be lost in time.

Maybe it really is foolish to be so attached to them.

But an eternity of existence without them is... an eternity of emptiness.

To exist is to live in the culmination of moments, after all.

Happiness, pain... they all scatter away as fast as they arrive, but I would rather be honest to those feelings.

I will do more than just witness them. I want to reach out and let my swelling emotions run wild.

In happiness, in wrath, in sorrow, and in joy... I would still cast my life into the vast world.

And that... is how I will find an eternity in a glimpse.

But there is so much left for us to accomplish…

Without us, Daguanyuan will… Hongyuan will…

No, Hongyuan will be okay.

Because it'll be its people that bring change to Hongyuan, not the Family Hierarch.

Such... such insolence...! Stupid, thankless child...! You... you will do no such... no such thing...!

Maybe I can't. It's just my opinion, after all.

So... with that, I leave you here to enjoy the immortality you so desired, grandmother. Dear elders.

You'll have all the time in the world to watch as I live my tomorrows.

May the rest of your lives be long and unending.
