Summary
“I should have gone to you,” he sobs to Wei Ying’s ghost, finally speaking the words that have haunted him for half a decade. “I should have been there.”
The words ring in the emptiness of the Demon Subdue Palace. Any possessions once held here have long since been looted or defaced, leaving only black stone covered with smears of red.
Wei Ying’s ghost flickers. He is nothing more than a pale shadow, a human shape that is so incorporeal simply looking from the wrong angle will dissipate him like early morning fog.
You couldn’t. You had your rules. If you had come, they would have killed all of us, he says, and Lan Wangji shakes his head.
“No,” he manages, broken. “No. It does not matter. Wei Ying. I miss you.”
He has never, in any moment, missed anything more.
(Or: a look at thirteen years of love, grief, and hope. And also the ghosts that haunt you.)

Summary
To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.
He comes close, though.
By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.
What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.
“Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”
Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.
