So maybe Matt signed up for this, but Foggy sure didn't — this thing that's eating his friend alive. Matt's back is to the wall, and Foggy is very very close, daring Matt to hit him maybe or wanting the scene to dissolve into something else — into Matt's arm snaked through his, maybe.

Matt's just there to pick up his things, and Foggy's about ready to wrap their collaboration up for good. Things go a little sideways for both of them.
"It's Karen," she says hopelessly in the middle of his doorway like he wouldn't know her a thousand other ways.

Wei Wuxian could name his sword—gleaming now on the rack above his head—Suibian, he could do whatever he wanted.
