not actually an essay

But a sort of "oh yeah he got canon updated in December and this is what happened and reasons why your friendly neighborhood Jiu Wu has been relatively standoffish and completely unwilling to talk about his problems the past few months" also I wrote the majority of this in like November oops.

Also basically a summary for the end of X-Family and a large chunk of K.O.3an Guo with some camp stuff thrown in as a bonus.

( probably mostly wordvomit )

TL;DR he is a mess of feels and leaderguy issues and this whole thing makes no sense.

ETA:

Rei: How did that not essay come down to "BLAME IT ALL ON XIU. HE BETRAYED ME AND MADE ME SAD"
[4:55pm] Ryuusei: well that is basically what it boiled down to
[4:55pm] Rei: BUT THERE WERE THINGS AND REASONS
[4:55pm] Ryuusei: I CAN PUT IT IN THERE IF YOU WANT
[4:55pm] Ryuusei: I WILL DO THAT RIGHT NOW
[4:57pm] Rei: idc, I was getting the image of Xiu coming to camp and his cabin getting hate mail addressed to him from Jiu Wu's fan club
[4:57pm] Ryuusei: .
[4:57pm] Ryuusei: .asdlkfjd
[4:57pm] Rei: "HOW DARE YOU" "HE TRUSTED YOU"
