Shen Ni, did you use that mouth of yours to fight your battles in Yanluo as well? What other uses could she put that mouth of hers to, do we think. (I like Li Shan far more than I think I’m supposed to, but that’s par for the course for me) (I could also be very easily talked into shipping Li Shan and Shen Ni in some kind of bad idea fling, because this whole encounter sure is... something)
Li Shan’s machine getting no useful readings from Bian Jin’s memory feels like another point in favour of the Bian Jin Sealed These Memories Herself theory (or asked someone to seal them for her) specifically to hide something that she can't (yet) afford for anyone else to find out, but will eventually need access to (and how useful it would be in that moment to have Shen Ni there…)
Revealing the depth of Bian Jin’s sorrow/pain/grief when everyone expected treason was a nice treat. Like a little whump appetiser. A bite-size piece of a favourite food. The favourite food in question being the unavoidable-reveal-of-hidden-pain trope. Can’t wait for more.
Perhaps the one Bian Jin treated with the most cruelty was herself OH YES WE’RE HERE WE’VE ARRIVED THIS IS MY HOME I AM MAKING MYSELF COMFORTABLE
