[ For this, Xichen chooses something more formal. By all accounts, he knows what he's going to ask of Huaisang won't be easy. But he still feels he must ask it. So a letter in his hand, which the young leader of the Nie Sect should recognize without difficulty, arrives on Huaisang's doorstep. ]
Nie Huaisang,
This is to formally inform you that Jin Guangyao has arrived. He comes from an earlier point than the rest of us, and is ignorant of what he may do in the future. He has the same chance here that the rest of us do, to be better. To heal. For this reason, I hope you will give him the chance to learn what living in peace is like.
A-Sang, I know what I am asking is difficult. He is wounded. Wangji came with me to speak with him, and agrees with me that he needs the chance to be different from the monster I have been told he becomes.
