really good novel addition to this DDD scene
the theological implications of the phrase "what the devil"
Ienzo/Zexion's reputation as The Guy Who Knows Things
Lea's immediate instinct to tease him for it as soon as he speaks, followed by the realization that from Ienzo’s perspective Axel had JUST goaded someone into killing him, the fruitless hope that Ienzo would not remember that happened so that the consequences of Axel’s actions would not catch up to him after all this time, and then the decision to leave the room as soon as possible so Ienzo would not be able to bring it up

Do you think Zhongli ever has nightmares?
Like, the man is insanely well adjusted and takes things in stride, but he also seems to have a sense of nostalgia...
So are there nights where even millennia later he can't help but remember the past? How fucking hard must the archon war have been? Or the Khaenri'ah incident? He's seen war and death and has lost so many people.
And he isn't heartless. When you look in his eyes, you find intensity and power and more passion than his refined demeanor lets on.
So yeah, does Zhongli fall prey to nightmares?
