"A Wen, here?"
"What's Wen Ruohan planning?"
At first, Wen Ning tries to ignore the whispers following him - rules forbidding gossip notwithstanding - throughout the Cloud Recesses. It's not long before he realizes he enjoys hearing them. They're inevitably followed by "That's just Wen Ning, he's harmless," and it's been a long, long time since anyone called Wen Ning harmless.
"So," asks Wei Wuxian, "why are you really here?"
Wen Ning considers. He's here to change the future, of course, but instead, he gives the answer he wants to believe. "To - to make friends, and. And to be like everybody else."
