post-war Wei Wuxian choosing to hang out with reanimated corpses because he no longer feels like he belongs with the living, because he bears the responsibility for the destruction of his clan, because he has given up his golden core, because he has survived unknown horrors through unknown means, because the only thing that kept him going was revenge and now that that’s done, why is he even here? the only people he occasionally chooses to interact with are his siblings and Lan Wangji and only because they allow him a glimpse of how things used to be, of who he used to be, before the trauma of his self sacrifice, before the horrors of the Burial Mounds, before the depravity of his own acts of revenge, for which he is both lauded and hated in equal measure, but which have cemented the death of who he was just a few short months ago. but both LWJ and JC keep asking him to go back to being the person he can no longer be, and it’s not like he can talk to anyone about what he’s going through, so it’s better to be alone with nefarious creatures who are as damaged as him.
