[ a note left for itachi, written in lan xichen's hand. with it, he leaves a text on qi and golden cores as they relate to the cultivation of his world. in case that's helpful or insightful for any reason. ]
you once said to me that what i destroyed in the past has no bearing on what i may build in the future. the words have helped me heal more than i can express. i don't know if i'll remember them when i return to my home, but i hope i re-learn that is possible for one to build a future that is not dripping with the blood that once stained their hands. but it's a choice.
for all the value my sect put in it, few have been honest in their regards to me. thank you for your honesty. it reminded me that i am not an ideal image carved from cool, unbending jade but a man.
