Also, how was the moon the night XY heard about XL's death? We know it was cold and lonely, but was it crescent or full?
It was a full round moon on the night she found out about Xiang Liu's death, similar to the night she and Xiang Liu gazed at the moon and he told her that life was precious as long as sights like these existed.
没有多久,一轮明月,缓缓从海面升起,清辉倾泻而下,小六被天地瑰丽震撼,心上的硬壳都柔软了。
在海浪声中,相柳的声音传来:“只要天地间还有这样的景色,生命就很可贵。”
小六喃喃嘟:“再稀罕的景色看多了也腻,除非有人陪我一块儿看才有意思。景永远是死的,只有人才会赋予景意义。”
Not long after that, a bright full round moon slowly rose from the surface of the ocean, clear, bright moonlight shining down. Stunned by the breathtaking sight, the hard shell around Xiao Liu’s heart softened.
Amidst the sound of the waves, Xiang Liu’s voice could be heard. “As long as such sights still exist in the world, life is very precious.”
Xiao Liu murmured, “No matter how rare a scenery is, one will get tired of it if seen too often. It is only meaningful if someone was with me to see it. Sceneries are dead, only people can give the scenery meaning.”

她悄悄起身,看璟依旧安稳地睡着,放下心来。她披上衣服,走出了寝殿,坐在玉阶前。
宫墙外,一轮皓月,冷冷清清。
小夭想起了清水镇的月亮,相柳死时,天上的月亮可也是这样静静地照拂着他?他可有想起他们曾一起看过的月亮?
She got up quietly, and was relieved to see Jing still sleeping peacefully. Putting on her robes, she walked out of the bedroom and sat in front of the jade steps.
Outside the palace walls, a bright full round moon hung in the sky, cold and desolate.
Xiao Yao thought of the moon in Qingshui Town. When Xiang Liu died, was the moon in the sky also shining silently down on him like this? Did he think of the moon that they once looked at together?

It is hauntingly beautiful and achingly tragic, seeing them come full circle like this. At the end, she once again gazed upon a similar sight to the one they shared, hand in hand. But the one who saw that view with her was no more.
