"Ah...?" Shen Yuan laughs again, rueful and self-deprecating. "But it's sort of true, though...if I'd been even a little bit more self-aware, if I hadn't let myself get so caught up in caring about things that didn't really matter...I ate spoiled food by mistake," he finally explains, embarrassed. "And then I didn't notice how badly I was sickening, because I was too busy yelling at the author of a book I'd been passionate about over the network...I'm aware of how ridiculous that sounds, you don't need to worry about my feelings..."

His very first day here in Trench, he'd accidentally shared memories with another Sleeper, and they'd mocked him for how poorly he'd died and called him a spoiled princeling. Shen Yuan doesn't see any reason to contest that title, or the attendent aspersions on his character. He was spoiled in that life. He had so many opportunities, and he wasted them all. He can't change that...but at least in this life, he think he's doing better.
