[Less resentment and more hope... That certainly sounds wonderful. It's something Ling wants to believe, too - but at the same time: if it seems too good to be true, it usually is.]

[Probably. Maybe. Or maybe he's just arguing against his own hope, here, trying to stay realistic.
Regardless, it's something he'll investigate for himself soon enough. Not because he doesn't trust Sizhui, because he does. But nothing can be all hope and no resentment worth mentioning.]
