Even though Shui Xian had mentally prepared himself to hear something like that when he asked her to continue, his mind still crashed.

"Before you tell me I'm being compassionless, don't bother. I have heard it way too many times already," she told him in a candid manner. "I can't relate to the grief of losing someone but that doesn't mean I'd make fun of someone's grief. Although I do believe that death is indeed a part of life, I also believe that everyone needs an escape from their grief before it consumes them. There is nothing wrong with crying over the loss of someone you cared about. Just because I can't understand it, I won't mock anyone for understanding it. However, you can't go and play dead with the dead."
