Wu Yun blinks at the old woman in confusion. "How...how can she be crying from her neck?"
"Oh, the Mourning Lady," Xue Zhuan says, showing up at Wu Yun's side. "She's been haunting the Garden of Tears for the past years."
"Isn't everyone here a ghost? How can she haunt anything," Lan Tian asks.
"Some souls can't reincarnate, for a reason or another. Either they haven't been properly buried, or they have unfinished matters in the mortal world that don't allow them to move on. They end up wondering around aimlessly, looking for what they can't find." Yu Songdi looks ahead at the desolate beauty of the Garden of Tears, a look of sedate melancholy softening his severe features.
He turns to Xue Zhuan. "She's the one who's looking for her son, right?"
Xue Zhuan nods. "Yes, it seems he died too, but she never managed to find him."
