At first, I thought you were suggesting that Da Qing make some kittens to pile atop Shen Wei, which Zhao Yunlan would probably have seriously complained about, but kidnapping already extant kittens is probably a better idea. During the Cong Bo arc, Da Qing seemed to have access to a steady supply of kittens, and then I recall him complaining about being surrounded by disobedient kittens in a park later in the 20s sometime (when is a good question, though, given my brain). So I got the general sense that he has an on-demand supply, like maybe all the neighborhood cat moms use him as a sitter when they're tired of getting chewed on.
One theory I heard that I quite like is that the mechanism of healing his eyes has left Zhao Yunlan with the temporary ability to see dark energy. As for the energy field, I have no trouble believing that Shen "raised himself in a warzone" Wei would want to protect his back and habitually put up defenses to that effect. Okay, that actually makes sense, thank you. I'll add 'passive dark energy shield' to his character sheet.
Yuuup! Though idk how well Shen Wei's problems would respond to medication – they seem to be more thought pattern related. The best thing to start with would probably be to stop the upcoming war and let him retire from the Envoy gig into being just a professor whose calls involve much lower stakes and less stress. He could certainly use some cognitive behavioral therapy. I wonder if Dr. Cheng could refer him to a good therapist?... and yeah, taking some stress off would help a lot. (Why is his life made of knives? /quiet sobbing)
