He sees Zhao Yunlan's sightless eyes, didi's long hair drifting around his severed head, the beautiful white of it stained with blood, a hand he knows is xiao Jedao's reaching towards him from the mass of mutilated bodies, and it takes him longer than it should to realize that it's a nightmare. That it's Taylor mei's nightmare.

He centers himself, pushes away the choking sense of fear and helplessness and tries to make himself a steady point of calm and safety, of reality amidst the horror.

It's not real, xiao mei. If it's another flood then it's probably pointless to try and convince her of that, but if it's just a normal nightmare--as if this horror could ever be just anything, or at all normal--then perhaps they can ease her out of it. And Shen Jiye and I are here with you, alive and well. Because of course he can feel his twin's awareness there as well.
