What are you talking about? Loneliness vs Disorder are neck and neck!
Sage words there, Sixiang."Maybe to you. A dream is only supposed to exist in the moment. The past and the future are for other phases, you know?" Sixiang laughed.
...or not.Sixiang held up a hand to forestall her. "Hang on a sec, let me catch up, I haven't been paying attention," Ling Qi blinked as the spirit reached out and brushed her fingers across the opaque water. She saw the surface ripple, and glimpsed flashing images; the mountain path, her conversation with Cai renxiang, Yu Nuan's face and others as well.
Six's domain is psychedelic pillow fort island, that is amazing and makes sense.A moment of blackness passed, and then Ling Qi opened her eyes to be assaulted by a riot of color. She sat up immediately, looking around in confusion at the thick sea of pillows, blankets and mats that she rested atop. Her hands sank deep into the soft fabric, and for a moment she floundered, almost sinking into the mountain of fluff and fabric.
We have the Pillow Fort of DOOM! It's interesting that Ling Qi's limbs felt heavy and clumsy, possibly a debuff relating to sleep? Something that Sixiang can inflict upon other's more offensively once this place is up and running better? Sixiang might have been inspired by Shen Hu's spirit on how to affect the world without actually hurting or inflicting pain.A moment of blackness passed, and then Ling Qi opened her eyes to be assaulted by a riot of color.

Character development! It's nice that Sixiang is beginning to understand the concept of death for mortals more. That she wants to exist for a longer period of time, experience new things, tease and joke and inspire, but if Ling Qi dies then so does this dream and so do these opportunities. Also, nice piece of info about how old Sixiang actually is, with the caveat that she has memories from ages past."How long ago was you're debut party?" Sixiang asked lightly, answering her question obliquely. "Or...it's hard to put it in way you'll get. I have memories way older than that, but 'Sixiang' isn't even a year old. I didn't understand how losing yourself would be scary, after all, all the bits that were you would end up part of something else, and that's fine."
"...You're right. I don't get it," Ling Qi replied slowly. "Why did that change though? ...Did the Bloody Moon threaten you or something?"
Sixiang grimaced. "No, I could… feel you hurting though, and that made me hurt. And if something happened to you, this dream would end, and I wouldn't get to tease you anymore, or listen to your songs or watch everyone fumble around trying to express themselves and…" Sixiang reached up, toying with a strand of their drifting misty hair as they babbled. "...I didn't want that. I'm not ready to wake up and rejoin grandmother yet," frustration and confusion bled into Sixiang's voice.
This part is an awesome feature that Sixiang is building for us. The ability to go backward in our memories and see things again just seems like it is powerful. Especially with CDE and the ability to observe multiple things at the same time. This probably works based upon memories, and not actually going back in time, and so perception altering things that were present there would still probably affect the memory recall, but having a way to recall details over days old and go back over them will be an extremely valuable skill for us.Sixiang held up a hand to forestall her.

"You can just do that?" Ling Qi asked, bewildered.
"Once I'm done you'll be able to as well, one more sec," Sixiang muttered distractedly. "Alright, I think I got a handle on her. Where are you stuck?"
Man, I hope these are just placeholder assets.The talk with Six was pretty great. It's interesting to see her thoughts of the dream and how Six has become more attached to Ling Qi.
