As far back as I can remember, I have always been told what to do, and without question, I obeyed. At first, it was just my father and uncles, but when none of them remained, I found another to order me around. Sadly, he wasn't interested.
"Haha! I am the fucking Seer, and I do whatever the fuck I want..."
Those words meant differently to me than most, I presume. To me, they were like a rope going up and disappearing into the light, tempting me to look at the world outside the well I was living in.
I thought that if I could just cling onto that rope as tightly as possible... I could get out too.
He was just so... free. I hoped that if I stuck around long enough, one day I would be able to say those words too—climb atop a table, drunk and yelling, "I am Ling Yue, and I do whatever the fuck I want!"
