If I knew why it was happening, maybe I could get it to stop...

People are either afraid of me or they bully me. It's just how my life goes.

Kids gang up on people who don't know how to handle them.

Orrrrr they might just be little monsters, one of the two.

Usually they aren't so willing to bully someone who is typically scary, though so I dont know how you pulled that off .

I like to think I'm not a very scary person. But I've done some scary things.

Uh

What, exactly?

[ Oh. Shit. He probably should have seen that question coming.

He doesn't want to lie. But he also knows the truth is complicated. ]

I've killed people. I didn't want to, but I did it.

❰ y i k e s dude

he's had his fair share of run-ins with complicated grey morality in asgard, but this is really blunt and he doesn't know you like that, dude. there's a long cease in communication while he debates just not responding, but emil is a "give me the last word" kind of guy. ❱

If you didn't want to then you shouldnt have done it

[ In all fairness to Wen Ning, he probably could have said that better. He just never was very good with words. ]

I wasn't in control of myself when I did it. If I could go back and undo it, I would in a second. Doing that cost me everything.

That's a lot.

❰ is basically all he can think to reply, still awkwardly wide-eyed by how far left this went. with only a couple sentences, the context of the situation has changed quite drastically. there's a big difference between being a cold-blooded murderer and losing bodily autonomy and committing something heinous.

even if it is still hard for emil to take things out of any black and white narrative. ❱

You don't want to hurt people then, right ? So no one needs to worry about that happening here?

I don't want to hurt anyone. I don't want anyone to worry.

[ He wishes he could say with one hundred percent certainty that it wouldn't happen again, but... When he has such a trigger built into him, isn't that something that whoever is keeping them here could tap into and take advantage of? Just in case, he'd better not make any promises. ]

If something is trying to kill me, or someone else, then I'll fight back. But other than that, as long as I'm still in control of myself I won't harm anyone.

❰ trust and believe that emil notices that's not a very hard "no." ❱

So what made you lose control in the first place then?

If thats still possible then that all doesn't mean much.

It was demonic cultivation. Turned me into a puppet, a weapon.

[ If the himbo on the other end knows what demonic cultivation is, then he'll surely be able to piece together that only corpses can become puppets. But Wen Ning has already bared this much of himself, might as well keep going at this point. ]

You were possessed by a demon ?

❰ he barely has a concept of what a demon in such a context, but that's all he's getting out of that explanation. ❱

No, not exactly.

[ He's been blunt so far, might as well keep being blunt. ]

I'm a fierce corpse.

You're also DEAD ?

❰ is this a prank.....is he being punk'd right now................ ❱

Do you have a redeeming quality somehow?

I like to think I'm very loyal?

[ How is this already the worst conversation he's ever had. ]

Who does a dead person have to be loyal to? Other dead people ?

Are there more of you??

My friends? All of whom are alive, by the way.

No, I don't think so. If there were, you wouldn't be able to talk to them.

If you say so.

Wait.
Who are these friends exactly? Are they here so you can prove it?

Yes, they are.

Wei Wuxian, and Lan Sizhui.
Lan Sizhui is more of a relative than a friend, but he still counts.

Alright.

Good luck on not being demon possessed ?

Thank you. I think.
