[The girl...goddess...whatever she is, stops attacking him after he goes down, and it gives him the time he needs to try processing again. The corpse is heavy and his coreless body weak, but he slowly begins to wiggle out from beneath the weight. At least she's leaving him alone for now.

The sound of her calling out to someone else has him snapping his head back up. She has a partner with her? His eyes land on the girl and he doesn't see a partner, but he does watch as she pulls a (living breathing) body from out of the flames. The guttural sound of rage that emerges from the back of his throat is instinctive and he shoves harder at the body weighing him down.]

Leave him in there! [This time the anger is buffered by something desperate and raw. None of them are allowed to survive. Not on his watch.]

Fuck, just let him burn! [Chenqing is out of his reach, rolled away when he fell to the ground, but he has enough room to reach into his robes now to grab a talisman. He slaps the yellow paper onto the body holding him down and shoves it off to rise to a shaky stand.

After snatching Chenqing again, he fixes his gaze back on the girl now moved to the grass and moves in her direction.]

I don't know who you are or what you want, but he deserves it! They all did! Kill me, I don't fucking care, but don't save him!
