[Of course, he'd understand. It doesn't take a genius to interpret what Chen Gong means. At least (if it's any mercy), Odawara Castle will only fall long after the both of them do.
But the fact that he isn't tumbling in grief means he can hear the fire. A bit, just a bit, but it's made itself known in the darkness.] Did you hear that? [Sorry to break your emotional monologue, Sun Jian. Actually, no, he isn't, because he's straining his eyes to look at where the fire might be coming from.
The grief of a parent isn't something Chen Gong knows (but he could know. and he doesn't want to). So he'd much sooner confirm his own safety rather than comfort a man he barely knows with absolutely nothing at all.]
