I mean that the way Shen Wei says it, as if not needing light means the current situation is acceptable, makes me go no! Shen Wei is reassuring Zhao Yunlan that Dixingren don't suffer from the lack of light, and that may be true physically, but at least for some of them, it's not true psychologically.

Like, humans don't need tasty food. We deserve it, but we can survive just fine without, and that's not a negative thing? It just is.

I read somewhere that people who only have bland food (or only one kind of food) end up having to force themselves to eat. Variety is necessary. Time is necessary.

(I'm sure I did like the fic! I don't remember it very well, and I just saw "h/c" in the tags and went "maybe later." /dork)
