Xiao Wu.

[ he says your name firmly ]

You know what I'm talking about.

[powerisyours]

I had to do it on my own.

[crestsmile]

But you're not alone here.

[powerisyours]

There isn't any point if it's just going to happen over and over again.

[crestsmile]

Xiao Wu.

You're my pride and joy.

[powerisyours]

I just don't want to set myself up for disappointment. It's already happened too many times.

[crestsmile]

I know that. I've known you long enough to tell. But even if I'm not here anymore, the feelings that I have for you, the care that I have for you--

They'll never change.

[powerisyours]

I know. It's not that. I've tried. I have. It's just that every time I get close to someone, they leave.

[crestsmile]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[powerisyours]

After a while, I just stopped trying. Kept the ones I have, but didn't try for anything more.

[crestsmile]

You shouldn't stop trying, Xiao Wu. You don't know who you might miss if you do.

[powerisyours]

It's selfish of me, but for once, I just want someone to stay.

[crestsmile]

If it helps anything . . . I want to stay.

[powerisyours]

Unfortunately, you can't. Even I know that.

[crestsmile]

I know.

[ but he wishes things were different ]

[powerisyours]

It's enough that you've come now. And I suppose if I wanted to see your face, I could just as easily go find Guan Yu in the Silver Dimension.

[ and break about fifty of my own rules in the process, ignoring the fact the guy probably hates me ]

[crestsmile]

You wouldn't do that.

[powerisyours]

I wouldn't. And I doubt he'd want anything to do with me, anyway. He may have your face, but he's not you.

[crestsmile]

I don't know about that, but you're right about that last part.

[powerisyours]

I took someone important away from him. It wouldn't surprise me, as the ones who are here don't want anything to do with me, either.

[crestsmile]

What do you mean?

[powerisyours]

To which part?

[crestsmile]

All parts.

[powerisyours]

Some things happened after . . .

[ you died. ]

Xiu ended up in the Silver Dimension. He made friends there. At least, until I forced him to come back.

[crestsmile]

By the rules and laws, he's not allowed to stay there permanently.
