"And if things ever get really bad… I'll even become a ghost if I have to. I'll cultivate as a ghost, follow you wherever you go, and never let you be alone. That way, we will always be together."
Gu Jihu nodded quickly. "She's right. Even if you're far away, even if you travel to the ends of the earth, I'll still follow. You're our sister, and we'll never give you up."
Gu Jishi grinned a little, trying to lighten the mood. "I actually found an artifact, Jin. With it, even if your soul wanders away, I can make sure you never go too far from us. So you see, no matter what happens, you cannot escape from us. We will keep you here, with us."
The three of them laughed softly, though the sound carried more sorrow than joy.
Gu Jichun leaned forward again. "So please, little sister, open your eyes. Don't you want to see us? Don't you want to laugh with us again?"
But there was no response.
