  2. Summary

    There is something wrong with Lan Wangji, and the mysterious child he brought home, while for the most part a sweet and quiet thing, displays some... concerning qualities.

    A desperate Lan Xichen turns to the very last person anyone in possession of decent morals and a sound mind would expect in a bid for help and answers.

    Summary

    When his father said that someone ought to get rid of Nie Mingjue, that he was in their way, that he would never stop, Jin Guangyao’s first thought was about the Song of Clarity that Lan Xichen was teaching him – and the Song of Turmoil, that he’d taught himself. He’d long ago noticed the similarities in the tune between them; it wasn’t enough to fool anyone skilled in music, of course, but Nie Mingjue rather infamously wasn’t.

    His second thought was: let’s wait and see.

    (And then Nie Huaisang got involved...)

    Summary

    The Lan founders had known what they were doing, no doubt, when they wrote the first rules. His body continues to sleep and rise with the bells. He eats what is brought to him, never more than three helpings. DO NOT WALK TOO FAST the rules say; so he does not hurtle into the welcoming arms of despair. DOGS ARE FORBIDDEN; so he turns away the hungry beasts skulking in the shadows of his mind.

    (In seclusion, Lan Xichen questions everything that came before.)
