Summary
He knows he’s getting close when his lungs start to feel heavy. When it feels like he’s swum too deep or he’s climbed too high. He becomes aware of his own heartbeat, sloshing in his ears and at the base of his throat. It would feel like panic, like fear, if it didn’t feel like coming home.
He reaches the clearing.
He holds his breath.
The dancer is there.

Summary
Minghao gives his humanity away as if it were a flower to a pretty girl.
He gifts it - no, that would imply it held some weight, some meaning - he shrugs it off like a cloak after a long journey, too heavy, too cumbersome.
He only realises his mistake when it is too late.
