Then again, I think there are other ways to handle doing something wrong then putting up with pain.

[alittlespicy]

Can... bear more of that edge than most people. And you have already taken a lot.

[ WangJi is quiet for a long moment. Then... ]

The pain is still temporary. On my world, there is also secluded meditation for me to reflect on what I did.
