And...it makes him pity Meng Yao. After he thought about this new bit of information. ]

He found out about what you were doing. Didn't he? So he cast the spell, dragged me back from wherever I was, and used me to kill you.

[ His laugh...isn't a nice one. A touch of the madness that is always just one angry outburst away. ]

Are you angry with me about that too? Taking away a brother you loved?

Believe me. I wish I hadn't been brought back here, why would I have wanted to be brought back through a curse?
