This is certainly the worst day of Shen Luguang's life. Kidnapped by monsters, assaulted by some wiggling thing that's done gods only know what to his upper dantian, forced to pilot a strange ship across dimensions (admittently that part was pretty cool, it was just the context that sucked), and now he was killing a bunch of knee-high brain monsters, by hand. He should have been able to zap them all with some lightning or throw them against the ground with his mind until they burst, but no! Even those basic spells had been denied him!

Still, it was important to keep things in perspective. Just because his day had inconceivably terrible, didn't mean someone else may not have had it worse. So it was that he pushes his hair back out of his face, squinting up at the stranger in his strange clothes, and tentatively waves back. "Hello!" he calls back. "Were you in the ship? Are you hurt?"
