Gu Sewei sat alone on the steps of the Ice Jade Palace, clutching the Frost Staff.
The cold moonlight spilled from beneath the dark curtain of night, falling upon the lonely figure of Gu Sewei.
Li Wei stood not far away, watching her quietly.
After recovering slightly, she had fallen into this state.
The Frost Staff was the scepter the Ice Queen had often used.
Gu Sewei was trying to feel anything the Ice Queen had left behind in it.
Li Wei could understand how Gu Sewei felt.
The person she had always relied on, the one closest to her, had vanished. Her heart was surely empty, feeling as if the entire world had lost its meaning.
Li Wei had felt the same way when he first came to this world and realized he had lost everything from his past.
He couldn't console Gu Sewei now; he could only let her process her grief alone.
Li Wei gazed into the distance, his thoughts drifting.
