[ That, he wasn’t expecting. He wonders if he can ever remember Hanguang-Jun apologizing for anything. Even on the last night he remembers, Lan Wangji was unapologetic in his defense of Wei Wuxian. Standing at his side when any lesser man might step away, let the rocks be thrown.
No. The last thing he expected from Lan Wangji was for him to dole out justice to Wei Wuxian. He believed the man’s sense of justice to be nearly flawless in ever other respect, but not that one. He swallowed, wanting to walk away still, but instead he turned, face warm from frustration and shame. His eyes kept to the floor, his back stiff, his grip tight. ]
No one does.
[ Roughly. Quietly. ]
Because it’s all wrong and I don’t know how yet. Even Wen Ning—
[ He clicked his tongue in frustration and looked away. ]
I’m not a complete idiot. Either you are completely hopeless, or you knew something I didn’t. But I can’t get justice here and that has nothing to do with you.
The only one that could have given me - given me anything - [ Justice, an explanation, an absolution— ] - never lived any of it. What’s the point in taking something hollow now?
