Xingchen could only see darkness, but there is something comforting in the darkness and his touch. It's accepting and comforting. Through his touch, maybe the other man has truly see the light of his mistakes and if he does, so is he. So he doesn't pull away.

"There's no going back. I heard there's some children crying on the platform today, because a loved one has gone home. I was thinking that's how you felt and I'm beginning to understand. It's lonely and heart-aching." There is sadness and he refuses to cry, admitting the mistake he's going to commit, "Maybe Song Lan can forgive me. And you wouldn't blame me anymore. Should one of us go to the platform..." A pause. "But I have no plan to do so...I can only hope we meet again in the next life."
