[It's not what he deserves and the sentiment is clear in his eyes. They hadn't cared to ease the suffering of any of Lotus Pier, so why shouldn't he return the favor now? But with the resentment clear from his meridians, he gives the man a searching gaze. It's no one he recognizes, even if the burns conceal most of his features. Just one of many loyal Wen soldiers. He deserves death, of that Wei Ying is sure. Maybe he even deserves to suffer. Probably he does.
But he watches the way she takes his hand and is suddenly viscerally reminded of Yanli. With a sigh, he kneels and summons a haze of dark resentful energy. The tendril slips inside the man's nasal cavity and for a moment nothing happens. A few seconds later he twitches once and then goes still, his breathing ceased. The energy emerges and dissipates into the air.]
He's gone. [He settles back onto the ground and brings both hands up to rub at tired eyes. The purifying energy that had flowed inside of him has helped, but it can't entirely wipe the exhaustion from his frame, especially not the parts of it that had nothing to do with his physical body.]
It's done. [Not over, but this much at least was done.]
