[ Of course Shen Wei did not wish for Ye Zun's life to go so wrong. Or wrong at all.
Back then... Back then, it had been difficult for everyone. And some, some had not understood that there is a limit to what one can take, so they hadn't stopped. Taking from the Haixingians. Taking from each other. Taking from those they thought under them. Taking until there was only destruction.
Shen Wei never could live like that. And Ye Zun...
Ye Zun had to let it sink to the core of his being in order to simply survive.
Can he judge him for what he did? For what he unleashed?
Yes. He can.
Can his judgment be unequivocally condemning?
No. It can not.
Seeing Ye Zun's lashes tremble, the hand angrily swiping over them, Shen Wei's throat tightens and he echoes, ]
Brother. [ He bows his head. Willingly. They are so different. But... they also are the same. ]
(Yu-HUH. He can't help it. Nope.)
