  Summary

  Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.

  Faith.

  His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.

  "I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.

  I remember you.

  I remember you.

  I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.

  (A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)
