They did the narrative threading thing again with going from the Artisanship Commission to the Alchemy Commission. They talk about new lives under new names in old flesh in the Artisanship Commission, and she mentions immediately later the Alchemy Commission, where Bailu is. What a nice lapse

#I know she isn't showing much pity for her friend here as Yanqing says but I think it's essential that she too loved him once #And that a part of her still does‚ and viceversa #This felt since the first scene like Jingliu mourning and saying farewell not just to Baiheng but to Yingxing too #And the scene in the Artisanship Commission enhanced that feeling to me #idk... She seems to be saying farewell to everyone and the group itself #A funeral of sorts for all of them and their bond #Awkwardly done‚ perhaps‚ by someone from a culture that lacks mourning rituals for the dead #I didn't get at all why we had to go through Tingyun's funeral considering that we didn't really got to know her much #and what we knew wasn't even her #It felt even more intrusive than other similar instance of 'protagonist just protagonisting' we've had in the game before #But now it's clear we had to go through that to understand better what is happening here in the context in which it's happening #and with the weight every detail carries #But I won't ramble more. This is starting to be very unrelated to the post haha #I talk too much #Traces #I guess #I want to save some of these ideas later. Perhaps with some of the screenshots I've taken #But I'm always so lazy I keep postponing everything haha #And to make things worse I should be doing an altogether different thing right now but here I am #I'm not censoring names right now I'm sorry but I can't stand that tumblr forces me to do that when I want to write things down quickly #Censoring is very annoying while writing with the phone #I'll come back later and change things in a bit. Just ignore me please if anyone sees this #I've checked and the post is not appearing in the general tag for me right now but who knows #It may appear in ten minutes from now instead I don't trust tumblr at all
