The familiar voice reaches his ears and his eyes widen slightly. Just before he came here, Hua Cheng had disappeared into a flutter of silver butterflies, his body no longer existing. Xie Lian refused to believe that the man was gone. After everything he had just learned, all they had just gone through..to just lose him so suddenly was heart breaking.

He turns slowly, almost afraid that if he looked that the man wouldn't actually be there and it was all just a figment of his imagination. That the voice was all in his head and that nothing but disappointment will be what he gets.

But what he sees is San Lang right there on the platform with him. He moves quickly towards the other man, tears stinging the corners of his eyes. "San Lang..." He chokes on any other words as he throws himself at the other man, wrapping his arms around him. Relief washing over him that he is okay and somehow they have ended up in this place together.
