"No," he admits, though he is satisfied to know that this history between them is intact, as it was one of the main things that was different between him and the other Wei Ying. Naturally, he'll have to ask more questions, but at least he is somewhat comforted.

"This place has a magic we do not understand. There are people from other times and other worlds. Multiple versions of ourselves with different histories. The Queen who has brought us here has not explained her goal for us, though she feeds off our emotions. She likes to play tricks that are so far, harmless. Yet, they have sealed our powers, and they have studied us."

This takes awhile for Lan Wangji to get through, since he usually only talks like two words a minute. This is possibly the most he's said in the last year. "We are from different times." How does he explain that he's from a not-so-distant future in which things work out and Jin Guangyao is to blame for those events that happened sixteen years prior? How is he supposed to explain that they are planning to go off together, traveling and hunting? How is he supposed to explain Sizhui, when he never gathered up enough courage to do so in the first place?
