#sqh is staring off in the middle distance and is barely keeping it together

Look, I know, canonically, Shen Yuan read PIDW in only 20 days, but I love thinking of him as a long-time hater/reader for silliness implications. Obviously he and Airplane don't know each other IRL, but imagine Airplane being like "Damn if I had to cast someone as SQQ, it'd be this guy just for the pure, scathing energy he radiates."

This is all well and good on its own, but it's also such a hilarious reason for SY to look like SQQ, even if it's only a little. Like he looks in a mirror the first time after transmigration and he's almost terrified because that's his face what the fuck???

It's more ethereal/inhumanly beautiful, but it's definitely his face. He can't tell if it's due to the System or what (it's definitely not and SQH never ever tells him)
