It can only do so much.

[lanerjiejie]

It works. Do it properly and face what is not working.

[unlanlike]

How do you know it always works?

[lanerjiejie]

Because I am still standing.

[And she has gone through a bit more than you have, young padawan.]

[unlanlike]

[ Well, that's a good point. ]

Yes, Hanguang Jun.

[lanerjiejie]

Why are you frazzled?

[unlanlike]

[ ah, straight to the point… ]

A conflict of emotions.

[lanerjiejie]

.... Elaborate.

[unlanlike]

do I have to..??

[lanerjiejie]

You called on me.

[unlanlike]

I know! But maybe I shouldn’t have.

[lanerjiejie]

But you did.

Now, elaborate.

[unlanlike]

[ it’s easier said than done! Jingyi doesn’t even fully know how to communicate this to himself! ]

it’s too embarrassing. It is also not important enough to have troubled you with.

[lanerjiejie]

You never trouble me.

[unlanlike]

Seriously?

[lanerjiejie]

Have I ever made you think so?

[unlanlike]

No... not specifically so.

[lanerjiejie]

Your elders are here to guide you.

[unlanlike]

But I know I can be difficult.

[lanerjiejie]

Who said that?

[unlanlike]

It doesn't matter.

[lanerjiejie]

It does if it makes you doubt yourself.

[unlanlike]

It doesn't! I mean... I know who I am.

[lanerjiejie]

And have I said you are difficult, or made you doubt who you are?

[unlanlike]

No.
