I just realized that Consort Jing (NiF) and Lan Xichen (MDZS) have the same "he's making a new friend!!!! ...he's making the same friend twice," emotional journey.
@Betty oh man esp since from the opposite side its v different bc LWJ knew full well he was reuniting with his zhiji and was not going to loose him again while Jingyan…did neither of those things
very mildly NiF spoilers
@Satsuma Yeah, they're kinda playing the same game but not at the same level, too.
