Summary:

“Senior Wei, why do you think we haven’t heard any screams yet?” Sizhui inquires.

His senior looks nervous, Sizhui thinks, and it upsets him more than he thought it would. Around Wei Wuxian, he’s never had to feel like he’s in any danger, no matter how dangerous the situation they enter—and though he wouldn’t say it out loud, he finds it a great comfort when Wei Wuxian accompanies them on night-hunts. It’s not that he is scared of hunting alone with the other juniors, he defends himself, but something in the senior’s presence tells him it’s impossible for things to go wrong.

So when Senior Wei loses his carelessness, Sizhui knows not just that the case will be dangerous, but that he’ll need to stay sharp, himself.

And when Senior Wei answers, after a short silence, that he doesn’t know either, Sizhui’s apprehension turns to uncertainty.

--

When Sizhui is injured on a night-hunt, the best choice is to go to Lotus Pier, even if Wei Wuxian dreads that decision. But to defeat the being they have encountered, they will need help.
