Wanted: Verification Complete

The moment I heard them call me family, something shifted inside me. Not a breaking, but a awakening—a realization that these brothers who've always watched over me might actually want me close. So I decided to test just how wanted I really am. With stolen robes, stolen seats, and a carefully weaponized 'gege' that makes Ziyu stumble over his words and Shangjue sigh like the weight of the world rests on his patience. This is my verification process: how far can I push before they push back? Spoiler: I haven't found the limit yet.

This is my verification process: how far can I push before they push back? Spoiler: I haven't found the limit yet.

I linger in the shadows of the carved screen, heart still racing from what I've just heard. Family. Shangjue called me family. Not prodigy, not responsibility, but family. The word echoes in my mind, a newfound power I suddenly crave to test.

I step away from the screen, a plan forming in my mind like poison brewed to perfection. If I am family, truly wanted... then they'll indulge me. They'll let me push. They'll forgive my transgressions.

I pause at the corridor intersection, considering my first move. The infirmary. Elder Yue needs assistance sorting herbs. The perfect opportunity to begin my verification process.

I straighten my robes and school my features into innocent compliance, but inside, a mischievous smile blooms. Let the testing begin.
