What I lost...wasn't your doing. [Words spoke in pain and anger and frustration sent his soulmate flying from him. Song Zichen cannot allow that to happen again - under any circumstance. Xue Yang has taught him how to speak his mind; to not lose his way when emotions overwhelm him. He trusts he can protect Xingchen now - or, at the very least, speak his mind without lashing out irrationally.]

Then I lost you too and that was an emptiness I could not bear. [So his feet kept moving; he slept only when he was exhausted and then he followed the trail again soon after waking.]

Will you give a fool a second chance?
