There is a fundamental difference between theory and practice. Wen Qing first learned this as a child, as she committed the constellation of dantians and meridians on bodies to memory.

That gap has never been so stark as on this mountaintop. Wen Ning at her side, cawing birds circling overhead, and two still bodies under her knife. Her hands, so slippery with Wei Wuxian's blood that his precious golden core nearly slips through her fingers when she finally cuts it free. Such a small thing, so blinding in its brilliance.

Careful, she hefts her knife again. She cannot falter now.

I really like your take on this situation. What a responsibility for her and, yes, the difference between theory and practice in this case was huge!

I have nothing intelligent to say other than I like this.

I love the sharp focus on this critical moment! Every detail feels right.
