ahhh, I never put any of these scenes together and now I'm having so many feelings?? ♡♡♡

I know, right?! *smishes them*

Which only makes me have even more feelings about the combination of these three scenes, because they're all different reasons and different ways of getting to what is ultimately the same conclusion!

*nodnodnod* I love what the drama does with parallels and repetition SO MUCH!!

Damn, Shen Wei is learning (all the wrong things). xD

Haha, right? /o\ Kunlun was a much better influence than early-canon!ZYL, omg.

And it's especially unnerving when his expression changes into this smile in a blink of an eye.

It's unnerving because he looks so terrible but I'm pretty sure the smile is genuine, and I think that's part of what ZYL can't bear? That SW might have known this would happen, and even knowing, he has no regrets and would do it again in a heartbeat. That ZYL (whose whole life is about protecting people) is responsible for SW of all people being hurt.

*stares at that gif for way too long, hai, I should be asleep like an hour ago* :D
