Everything was chaos, the Lin Kuei now had no respect from anyone, they were all seen as cold-blooded killers who betrayed Earthrealm and now represented a latent threat. Bi-Han, as the cruel Grandmaster, had encouraged the production of cyber Lin Kueis, to take what in his eyes belonged to them. He was cruel, cold and arrogant, anyone who knew him knew that, at least you had the privilege or rather called miracle of knowing a less ruthless side of your husband.

Sometimes, very few times that you can count on the fingers of one hand, he seemed to calm down completely, even wanting to spend time with you, as a couple. Those moments didn't last long, but at least it showed that despite all the evil that existed in him, there was a small, tiny particle of love in his being, reserved only for you.

At dusk, Bi-Han seemed to finally show up at the house. Lately, he would spend days at a time without coming home and when he did, it was only to sleep or do other brief things before leaving again. But today he seemed to break that pattern. He found you in the tub, one way or another, things moved forward and he ended up with you under the water, you sitting on his lap, back against his chest, surrounded by the warmth of the water and the dim light in the room. He didn't speak, he didn't move, sometimes his right hand would trace lazy strokes on the skin of your thigh or waist, but he never said a word but from time to time he would give you fleeting glances.
