Your actions gave Zhuang Fangyi a satisfactory answer.

Here I am.

But sorry... I can't remember much about Wuling.

I'm afraid I didn't really catch it back then because of the noise. Sorry.

I do have something to say about Wuling...

This seems like a great time for stories.

Wuling's past.

We've walked for a while...

I seem to have missed out on many things...

But I already have the answer I need.

The moment the Academy told me about your return, I began rehearsing a decade's worth of stories.

But there's too much to be done, and the stories worth sharing are few.

Anything you feel like hearing, Endmin?

I was completely overwhelmed.

Until one day, I read a question on the title page of an old book. It was a self-reflection written by a Tumu Tianshi.

I asked myself the same question, and only submitted my applications after some deliberation...

"Will the young still see the verdant hills and rivers?"

One day, time will write that reply for us.

But at this moment, the looming threat is what matters most.

That's ... something I need to think about...

Mmm.

Before I joined the Wuling Science Expedition, I had many options ... and problems as well.

It's just a very simple question.

But in this untamed land, that question claws at my chest. Unexpectedly, unrelentingly.

Endmin, I'm truly happy to see you back.
