He remained quiet for a long time. I tried my best not to push it too hard, leaving him space to fight his inner struggles. Convincing Bai Ye wasn't going to be easy, but I was determined to make this one count.
It seemed like forever before he spoke again. "I know of a spell that can let you glimpse into the memory of someone else." He sounded hesitant, though he continued nonetheless. "It should be safe, since the scenes you see that way will remain a separate experience from your own consciousness. But …"
"I won't take advantage of it and take on the sword spirit without you agreeing to it first." I promised again quickly, not letting the doubt get a second chance at changing his mind. "This is a big battle. I can't and won't fight it on my own. You have my word."
Some of you have asked before for Bai Ye's point of view… Good news: you have it! Starting the next chapter, the (long) vision will be told from Bai Ye's perspective :)
Are you ready for the bittersweet story of their past?
