When they made it, Seiji didn't even greet anyone, making his way over to Meilin's coffin. He dropped down next to it when he saw her, tears spilling out of his eyes. He regretted everything about his last encounter with her. He wished he didn't leave things with her on a bad note. He was so disrespectful to her, and so angry.
"I'm sorry," he whispered, taking her hands and squeezing them tightly. The spell Bohai put on her corpse worked wonders. "I'm so sorry. I should have stopped him before he killed you. I shouldn't have yelled at you that night."
He felt someone wrap their arms around him, but he didn't budge. He couldn't help the guilt that was pouring through his body.
"We should get started," a soft voice said from behind them. Seiji glanced up and looked over at Shaoqing, who was awkwardly standing behind him and Xiaosi.
