He can, at least, put his smile back on when he elects to lie.]
[And he walks out! At least he's just going down the hall. Y'know, so he can do his embarrassing crying in the shower where no one will hear him. Then he's gonna flop in his room and brood.]

[the wind goes right out of his sails. he doesn't know whether he should believe it. he doesn't know jing yuan well enough to contest it, not really.]

[He tries to relax a little, and sighs softly.]
I am going to take a long shower, and then a nap in my own bed.
