[Guilty as charged, it's not like Nie Huaisang would ever settle. It's death to settle for things in life, Jin Guangyao, obviously, which is all the reason Huaisang needs to absolutely pour time and money into the nicest venue the city has to offer, in his first week in town. It's a shame no one told him about The Red sooner, all things considered.
So: he loiters a step and a half behind, taking a look around himself, but if Guangyao wants to do it, far be it from Huaisang to object, ahem...]
There...? [fucking. really.] I-If san-ge is sure, then...
[Then fine, god, anything to get out of here. Huaisang affects a look of determination, squaring his delicate little shoulders and moving straight in the direction of that distant mirror with its menacing, looming octopus, and the staircase responds by rumbling under his feet and breaking itself in two, the rest of the steps rising too high and too far to simply hop across. Huaisang pinwheels his arms for a moment, nearly overbalancing into a ravine into the void? who can say— but he manages to stay upright.

Okay.
...He turns back to Guangyao.]
I didn't-! Really, it just happened-!!
