Xiao Yi continued, "After that, perhaps Feister had given up living as a creator, which is why he lowered his dignity to borrow money from you. However, your anger made him sober up and regain his dignity. But that wasn't the real reason he started to create again. I think the real reason... was you."
"...Me?" Lu Qiou was astonished. "Feister continued to create because of me?"
"Yes," Xiao Yi nodded, "he saw the intent to die in your eyes, much like those characters in his writing, so he could understand. But he didn't want you to end up like his characters, committing suicide or falling into endless pain, so he said that statement."
"Don't... become a character in the story," Lu Qiou recalled, stunned.
Xiao Yi continued, "Feister didn't know what to do, and not being eloquent, he probably couldn't persuade you, so he chose to communicate in the way he was best at, yes, through his own creations."
