Little Whale stubbornly refused to admit it. "I'm remains, remains!"
Ye Buyu's face darkened. She abruptly rose and walked toward Lan Huaiyu.
The leisurely Little Whale froze. "Huh? Wait, you're not going to confess, are you?"
Ye Buyu said nothing, her gaze as resolute as if she were about to join the Party.
Little Whale panicked completely, leaped out of the Mindscape, and plastered themself over Ye Buyu's eyes, both fins waving wildly.
"Don't, don't, don't! You can't go! I really am remains! Do you want to see the world destroyed?!"
Just as she was about to reach Lan Huaiyu, Ye Buyu made a smooth turn, walked over to the water dispenser, and held up a cup to fill it, a slight smile curling her lips.

Ye Buyu's expression darkened. "Be reasonable. You're a Level Ten Calamity. Do you think I wouldn't be scared?"
Little Whale laughed sheepishly. "Haha, I think you've adapted pretty well. Besides, I really am remains. Does that matter so much to you?"
"Doesn't it?!"

Little Whale sighed and lay back down on their little sofa. "Then stay scared. I'm not leaving anyway. Just think of it as... the [Whale of Wailing]'s struggle."
