Summary
"No man shall die without his chest cracked open," Dr. Xie says coolly, not looking up from the book.
Fastening his scrub cap, Wei Wuxian falters. "What?"
"It is an old philosophy of cardiothoracic surgery," his attending continues. "What is the most common cause of death in the hours after open heart surgery?"
"Bleeding, sir."
"That's correct. And how do you suppose you control the bleeding once it starts?"
Wei Wuxian pauses, his attending's meaning dawning on him. "You have to... stop it. By hand."
"Precisely," Dr. Xie remarks. "If you learn nothing else from this residency program, know this: a bleeding heart is a silent killer. You have time to handle it..." He rises, snapping the book shut. "...until you don't."
Or: Wei Wuxian was left heartbroken in his fourth year of medical school, unable to keep the best thing he ever had. He's been burying himself under a mountain of achievements ever since.

Summary
Some things fall into the Abyss, gone and lost forever. Others crawl back out, dragging with them the remains of what they once were.
As for Lan Zhan, he knows better than to chase after ghosts, better than to walk face-first into their long reburied graves. But having witnessed Wei Ying, Lan Zhan can't help wondering what exactly has been laid to rest.
No matter how much his elders insist he shouldn't.
Or: Lan Zhan is forced to stare at the Jianghu's ugly past, and must decide how much of its rot he is willing to swallow. Wei Ying is walking evidence of their failures, a constant reminder of the cost of turning a blind eye.
A love letter to Pandora Hearts written in the world of MDZS. (No knowledge of PH required!)
