Even knowing that you can't do it, if there's something wrong something is to be done.

Thus in a fierce and desperate fight Lotus Pier fell.
And three children lived. Deprive in a night of their people, their home and their family.
It was hard on all of them. Ah Li fell down with a fever. Ah Cheng blamed and ramped and nealy strangled his brother and just sat there with blank expression lost in his pain.
And Ah Xian was to look after them. He'd lost as much, he suffered too, he was blammed and he blamed himself but he was there to protect them, his dear family, the only who he had left.
And he had to be strong. He didn't have the right to droop. He made a joke to cheer up his sister. It sounded so out of place... You did your best, Asami smiled.
But the responsibility was weighing down on him. The inhumanity he had seen was a hard blow. Could you trust after a night of terror? Realizing that if you fail and trust the wrong person the weak and dear people would be done for?

Your brother was reckless and caught. And you followed him to Lotus Pier taken over by the enemy. And there you run into Wen Ning. A guy who wouldn't hurt a fly, as you well know. Who helped you out when you were in a death peril.
You lash out at him.
And Asami could just see that Ah Xian was on the verge of breaking down too. The burden of not making a fatal mistake one more time, the burden of being in charge of the calamity and his few lived family wasn't the one that he could be fine baring alone.
Ah Ning, you saved him. You saved not only his and his brother's lives, you held out your hand to his very soul. You shared his burden. You reassured him that some people could still be trusted even though they wore enemy robes. In his smothering darkness you lit up a light and showed the way to safety.

And your sister. What a strong person she is! All alone she had always protected her brother and secretly upheld her own velues. She allowed Ah Ning to grow up a nice person. You gave him the opportunity to do that amidst all the darkness you lived in.
Such she would have never turned in Wei Xian who was now just as her, alone and trying to protect those who were dear. He was pointing sward at you but he was shaking. If you had given them in he would kill you and perhaps Ah Ning, or perhaps he couldn't. But his heart would have been broken. He would be as good as dead, as a fierce spirit but not a kind and loving and caring and enegetic and lively person any more.
You saved him as well.

And gave them refuge they needed. And food, clothes, rest. You treated his brother. You took care of the reckless Ah Xian who was set to do the impossible and find the way to get his brother back his spiritual core if there was any way at all.
Asami wasn't surprise when he actually found a way. She would't be surprised if he invented it never finding one.

And there it was. A smile back on your face. And your lively manner. Ah Cheng, who had been so accusing and resentful of you, now you were brothers again. Ah Xian acting as the older one. And Ah Xian was smiling never doubting his decision. Never telling his brother the part about what his salvation would cost. It mattered little to him. Just you wouldn't be able to give him another chance for you can share your spiritual core only once.

Whatever happens, Ah Xian, stay yourself. Stay your lively and resouceful and kind-hearted self. Never break down. Please.
Remember your pray.
Rememmber the values of your family.

May it be that even darker times will come... Stay as strong as a cane. Stay yourself.
