She got very triggered when I accidentally mentioned the crystal globe just recently because I did not realise that was a detail she was not privy to yet. I think what hits hardest for her apart from Xiang Liu's death, is that Xiao Yao never knew the extent of what he did for her. AH's fanfic would help in that regard, but she is not yet ready to accept his death any time soon.liddi:
Not yet, and I am not sure I want her to yet since she is already so upset as it is just with the events in S1, and knowing of his death.
I understand why you want to protect her. On a personal basis, being hypersensitive myself, and the novel containing mature and triggering content, teenager me would have been inconsolable and quite disturbed. I wouldn't have been able to understand the hidden meanings beyond the literal meaning of the text, especially since the facts (XL death,...) are ultimately implacable and irrevocable. To be honest, I'm not proud to admit it but even as an adult, I almost threw up when I read the last few chapters and was shaken to the core. I remember being very angry, revolted and shocked by the novel, wishing I'd never read it
