Magnus' quiet desperation, unlike the rest of what he is feeling, seems obvious. He is rattled and afraid, just as they all are. He wants the key that will unlock guaranteed safety for this mansion. Lan Wangji suspects it does not exist -- but he doesn't say as much. He nods. He plays the question. Is there anything else we should ask?

Again, a small frown tugs at his face while Shen Yuan's spirit plucks the strings. "He bids us to ask about the remainder of his killer's power over memory." And so he does, without waiting for Magnus to prompt him.

He does not care for the answer, but that is not Shen Yuan's fault. The information is useful, and he is glad to have it. He is glad for very little else just now. "She does not only take memories. She can create false memories as well. He believes her ability to do so is limited -- she did this to Shen Yuan only at the end, by making him believe that Luo Binghe had harmed Galahad during their confrontation when he did not. He urges us to check in with one another, to compare memories, and to believe the best of each other."
