Axiang seems like someone they didn't nurture. If they had nurtured her, she might have come over and fought it out with us by now."

When Lady returned home, it had already gotten dark, and Axiang was still inside, sewing sheets and such, her expression filled with worry.
Seeing Lady come back, Axiang asked him, "Was the play good? Do you remember what it was about?"
Lady had been reciting it all the way back, but when he got home, he had forgotten everything, only saying, "In the play, there was also a fool, just like me. Axian played it."
