[That's a lot of information, but it still doesn't feel like a complete answer... or maybe that's just Ling. Somehow, none of what Sizhui says feels quite enough, and while that makes sense in part - and it's not like Sizhui doesn't have the right to keep silent about some things! even Ling can admit that! - it doesn't feel right.
What exactly does Ling even want, here? To make sure Sizhui is safe, sure; to know what happened so he can keep it from happening again, maybe. But he still has no reason for making any of it his business, and logic even tells him that's kind of disrespectful. Sizhui can take care of himself, after all. Objectively, he's at least as good at that as Ling; possibly even more.
But it still doesn't feel right, all the things Ling's missed while other people were already here; all the things that are out of his control.]
Turning into a rabbit is not being like yourself either, is it?
