She clung tighter to his hand as it all pulled at her, trying to demand her attention, break her focus, keep her here. His calm and reassurance, the light of his spirit, led her as she walked blindly, afraid to open her eyes to the movement in the woods.
And then she was tripping on metal, on the platform, barely keeping her footing, sensing the train and Wei Wuxian with his edges suddenly crisp again and someone else she couldn't quite put a finger on.
A step, a breath, and suddenly she was standing in the luggage carriage - dazed and confused with a vague sense of others further down the carriage. Her legs went right out from under her and she let herself sink to the floor, crying again. She didn't know if the tears were from the loss of her Soulwood or the relief of being safe on the train and no longer damaging her world.
Either way, for now she was just going to sit with her head in her hands and give herself the time to pull herself back together a little.
