You were on the highest balcony at Wangshu Inn, until you heard faint sobbing noises, it sounds like it came from the rooftop of the inn, you climbed up to the top until you saw Xiao sitting there, crying and hugging himself, you approach him and you sit next to him, he turns to you with a pained expression and tears streaming down his face

“It hurts… the Karmic Debt… sniffle it hurts so much…” you try to hug him but he recoils back “N-no..!.. Don’t get close to me..!.. I-I don’t want to risk losing you to my own burden..!.. Please… stay back…”
