[ kaveh is, naturally, the first person hua cheng tells; they were a little in love with each other, probably, so it seems right that he should know. ]
I am sorry to bear bad news: Xie Lian has gone from this place. He is fine. I can feel his presence at the other end of our red thread, but his room is empty and I can no longer find him within the resort.
It takes all the restraint in me not to burn this place to the ground.
[ so, no. no, he is not alright, he will not be alright until he has xie lian once again in his arms, safe within the walls of paradise manor where no one else could ever touch him.
but there's nothing he can do about it now, is there? ]
I know you two loved each other. I thought it right that you be the first to know.
I'm so sorry. I understand that feeling. When Alhaitham was taken from me... mm, and the two of you have been together much longer than he and I have been.
[ Ugh. It only makes him hate everything all the more. Hua Cheng and Xie Lian will be alright, in the end. Hua Cheng will return home to his love, and they will continue on. He can only hope the same is true for him and Alhaitham, that their memories of what happened here hold.
But...
Unless they find some way to traverse the worlds...
Ugh, no. This isn't about him right now. ]
Thank you for telling me. I... My heart hurts, a lot. But I'm glad I heard it from you.
Is there anything I can do? To help you? When Alhaitham disappeared, Xie Lian helped me go to his old room and find some of his things...
I am all right, really. Knowing that he is safe is enough for me for now. It must be enough.
[ if they'd turned xie lian into a statue hua cheng would probably have just gone ham on this whole place. ]
I have his belongings, I brought them with me when the staff made me leave our room. Would you come to my room at your convenience? There are things among them that I think he would want you to have.

His heart breaks. His heart is broken, but at the same time...
Surely, his first responsibility is to Hua Cheng, his friend's literal husband. It's what he knows Xie Lian would want. ]
Thank you for telling me, Hua Cheng.
I..
Are you alright? I know you said you can feel him, but...

He supposes that makes sense. He can only imagine how crazy the knowledge might drive Hua Cheng otherwise... ]
I... of course. I would be...
Thank you.
If you're not doing anything, I'm free now.
