The library burns first, the forest quick to follow.
Long after he has fled the mountain Lan Xichen thinks he can still smell the smoke.

-

Someone inside started a cooking fire.
The smoke waves goodbye to Wen Qing and her brother as they start down the long road to Lanling.

Xue Yang is a blunt instrument, brutal in its efficiency.
As the air fills with smoke and screams, Jin Guangyao finds satisfaction in new beginnings.

Smoke stands starkly against the darkening sky, dancing to the tune of a familiar song.
Humming softly under his breath, Wei Wuxian follows it home.
