In every song, there is a world imprisoned.
I walked through the gaps in the melody and became a brief footnote to other people's stories. Ferrying across the galaxy in "Night Sailing", witnessing the overthrow of the dynasty in "A Thousand Journeys of the World"... I collect those "auras" that are bright due to obsession, and I am also used to the destined partings.
Until I discovered that all partings are prologues.
All the islands whisper the same name.
And all the souls I have passed by are returning from the end of Wan Lai holding the fragments of their world to build a bridge for me to them.
——It turns out that I traveled through the worlds not to collect stories.
But to let all stories find their way home.
