Summary: The problem with being insecure about your decision making was that you ended up second-guessing yourself into some really… horrible… situations. Su She hadn’t ever really thought that he was worth much. His training among the Lan had ensured that. But he didn’t doubt at all that Jin Guangyao was leading him straight to death. Maybe it was time to make a choice and stand on his own two feet, no matter what the consequences were.
