[ It is a sentiment they both share — the relief at the lack of expectation. Wei Wuxian has a terrible, terrible reputation where he comes from and he knows at least half of it is well earned. But being here, where he can freely introduce himself as Wei Wuxian and not feel the bite of fear or hate in response — it's a heady feeling.

He eats his bacon and looks contemplative in response to Sunday's question. Well, if he was home, that'd be an easy thing to do — simple. But he's not and he doesn't know how it works here, so he might as well give the warning. ]

There's a skill I know. Empathy. You allow the ghost to possess you to relive their memories when they were alive and they can show you their story. What they want you to see. It's a dangerous skill though because if you're not careful, the ghost will possess you fully and won't give your body back.

While most ghosts aren't fully cognizant of what they're doing, they have impulses they follow, sometimes malicious sometimes not. It all really comes from how they died and how they've come back as well. So their minds are not always all there. It takes a lot of skill to bring back someone's consciousness when they're already dead. Not impossible, but a whole lotta work.
