This latest development is followed by loud, wordless cheering from Wei Wuxian at least. He's not dead! It was touch and go for a bit there and 'fierce corpse' might still be on the table with the way he started shuffling, but he's mobile at least. In the wrong direction, but hey. Maybe if he adds his own noise and open-handed slaps to the window, they can turn this whole thing around. Not that it wouldn't be extremely funny to just bail and leave Nie Huaisang to stew in the mystery, but they've come this far and he can't let the sacrifice of being pinched and called old be in vain. And while it wasn't his fault per se, all this worry and sneaking demands some compensation.

"I don't think he's fake OR dead, but there is something wrong with him," he opines to Klaudia as an aside, before cupping his hands around his mouth to yell some more. "Nie Huaisang!"
