[ Now that they are back in the present time, the memories of a life once lived are already beginning to fade. With every moment, he loses the little random details that he could once recall vividly: where he and Chang Geng celebrated their first wedding anniversary, the day Gu Yan's dragon egg hatched, where in the house Gu Yan took her first steps...
What's left behind is the memory of a deep love.
Losing people he's loved, he's used to it. That doesn't make his heart hurt any less.
And then Chang Geng's hand is touching his cheek, and he knows he is being too greedy. He kisses back, and—overwhelmed with gratitude—draws Chang Geng into his arms. Chroma surges into his body, and with it a strange sensation of unfairness and irritation, unhappiness that a perfect day had been ruined.
These are feelings that seem alien to him. But before he can puzzle it out, he can sense a certain unpleasantly familiar pull, and breaks the kiss, panting softly.
Then, still holding onto Chang Geng with one arm, he reaches down to lift the device he'd left by the bed. He knows what he has to do. ]
We have a few minutes before that rift will try to seize us again. Help me.
[ With a steady grip, he points it at the rift. And then he turns to kiss Chang Geng once more, this time deeply, to generate more chroma. ]
