Court of Jester

"I can't live like this," Wen Kexing quietly said, but in this empty room, he might as well have screamed it. Zhou Zishu stilled at his words, an unreadable look crossing his face, something akin to pain and grief in his eyes that made Wen Kexing briefly believe he was still human before it left, "A' Shu, this can't keep going on."

Zhou Zishu pursed his lips, a hard look in his eyes - staring at Wen Kexing like he was a mere stranger in his way.

"Then leave."

(Based off a song called The Court Jester by a band called Snow White Blood.)

But things had changed

His words were banned

Now his truth was spurned here

He was not welcome in a land

With a society of fear
