Summary
Jade, listen. You are nine years old. Nine year olds do not build perfect rafts in 57 minutes out of some firewood and rope they found on that weird cat mummy they encountered upon in their giant mansion. Nine year olds, when doing this, instead make poorly-built rafts.
. . . . . .
Jade, if you didn't get what I'm saying, that thing is probably going to sink.
Jade, stop. Jade, this is a bad idea.
. . .
Woah. Wait. Are you seriously pushing that thing into the sea? Jade, what. Jade. Jaaaade.
. . .
Jade, do not jump on that raft. I command you to jump off that raft and swim back to your island right now. This is for your own good, Jade. Jade there is a storm. Right there. Jade no.
Sighhhhh.
It is a regretful, woeful life, being outside the fourth wall. It is most certainly regretful. -

Summary
“What do you see, gege, when you look at me,” Xue Yang had asked, turning away. His ponytail fucked all loose at the base of his neck. The sheets feel washed out under Xingchen’s legs. Xue Yang’s voice is weary, like it doesn’t belong to him. Like it’s on loan. The streetlamp outside their motel isn’t out yet and his head’s tipped all the way back, into the dust-halo it’s casting through the blinds.
It's a simple enough question, but it feels like a test.
