Until Wei Ying spoke, Lan Wangji had somehow not realized that he had meant it when he said that he would not need these robes any longer.
But I have you for that now.
What if the robes are in fact an anchor of some sort, keeping Wei Ying grounded in existing here? What if without them, he--
Unreasoning panic wells up inside him, and he slams it back down with pure strength of will.
If the robes are an anchor, if this place is not different and Wei Ying is somehow a trapped ghost, unable to move on until the tie is freed, then Lan Wangji will help him do so. And if he is not - if this place, this inn, is what it seems, then--
"Whatever Wei Ying wants," he manages, at last - and makes himself look at him.

"Tell me. What you want. I will do it."
