I’ll go first: When XY healed and woke up in a giant clamshell. Furball came to drop her off, XL was nowhere…
He was her companion for the past 37 years. The giant clamshell was their home, he returned home to her daily, slept by her, woke up beside her. Every time he returned and they were united, both of their hearts were filled with joy. He took her to various places he enjoyed and he “showed” her the world in which he lives in… everything he couldn’t do or say to her if she were awake or concious. Those moments, I think, were precious to him, because once she’s awake, he and she both knew that in this lifetime, they were fated to not be together.
And so when he woke her up and she left their home of 37 years… he was so heartbroken that he wasn’t able to suppress the pain in his heart like he nornally does.
Novel Readers: Name the times the heartache XY felt was actually XL’s, whether she realized it or not. Let’s…

When XY healed and woke up in a giant clamshell. Furball came to drop her off, XL was nowhere to be seen, and as she left the shell where she lay for 37 years, “for whatever reason, her heart was filled with an endless ache” (ch22)
I think he said almost to the T in an interview what you just said, that his challenge was to bring to the forth…
Well, he succeeded because I saw and felt everything. I’m also impressed at how he was able to keep his eyes just moist enough, without tears pooling up in the eyes. How??
TJC did a really good job portraying his burning emotions while remaining cold on the outside. His eyes, microexpressions… from anger to sad to hopeful to utterly crushed… he did the “afraid to let him in her dreams” scene so well. I’m just all kinds of heartbroken for XL
100%. Even the character used for China (中国) means "the middle kingdom" or "the center state."
not just China. Japan = the land of the rising sun. Before knowing what we know now, many countries and people believed that they were the world, that they’re the center of the world.
I can’t accept the fact that XL wait and protect XY literally with his whole life for 37 years and at the end…
He gave two of his lives to save XY, but didn’t die to protect her one last time. He’a a general in a losing war, and he knew that it was time to go, on the battlefield.

Let’s he heartbroken together.
I’m sad about XL’s story too, though :(
That’s a bit further down the line though
