Yes, all of this, including your parenthetical! ♥ ♥ ♥

Yes! I mean, they could have had the young Envoy come in and report to Fu You and Ma Gui in a very Envoy way before he noticed Zhao Yunlan, but this way was so much better!

a take on two scenes you already brought up, but which parallel each other in multiple different ways. Have a few:

OHHHH, YES! I love those!! I love how Shen Wei is just going about his business and then taken off-guard both times, and the mirrored framing of the second pair -- Shen Wei looking up in wonder; Zhao Yunlan looking down. And maybe, especially, with that last one, how they each immediately withdraw, leaving the other one going, "Heyyy..."

the Hallows can be beneficial when used/activated/self-activating all together, but individually they're much more likely to do harm, or at least have serious negative side effects.

Hmm, I don't feel like we know enough about them to state anything like that definitively? Worthy of further investigation, anyway. Besides, Da Qing did have his memory scrambled... and is immortality a boon or a curse? :-)
