"No, but." He tightens his lips as he slowly draws in a deep breath. "Xingchen, do you know that sometimes they force people to partake in certain activities?" A pause. "Not torture..." His voice is soft, tinged with fear because he isn't tortured yet, but someday it will happen. "But, making you feel things like being possessed and wanting what you shouldn't have."

He rubs the back of his neck. Until finally, he draws out a breath and released what bothered him. "Xingchen, a few days ago. I partake in those activities...intimate activities with your twin."
