[X] Trust arises from choice. Love arises from trust. There can be no perfect safety, save in death. For love or trust to exist, so must the chance of heartbreak and betrayal.

Makes the most sense for Ling Qi based on all of her thoughts recently
 
I have to wonder just how much damage Shenhua did to herself in doing this - it is counter to her nature to silence Truth, making her creation unable to communicate on purpose has got to have done major damage to herself.
I don't think it would? Stopping her from communicating isn't the same as forcing her to lie. It's similar to how it's entirely possible for Shenhua to keep a secret without straining her Way, she just has to refuse to tell anyone what it is without withholding that she knows the secret.
 
[X] Truth and lies are the weft and warp of communication. Clarity, understanding, these determine the quality of words.

I don't think a lack of choice is actually a good reason to abandon attempts to build bridges. Renxiang isn't the only one who didn't have a choice about this here, anyway. And I think there's also companionship to be found in being at the mercy of circumstances together that the choice insight misses, maybe?

I also think Liming's mouth being sewn shut is something we might be able to address at some point, though I don't expect this to be enough on its own.
