[MK watches the the lantern fly up and away. For Macaque. It's sad to know. It's sad to think about. But it explains why Macaque was so mad at Monkey King. Why he used him.

It makes why he keeps showing up to teach him all the more confusing. But he's happy he does. Even if the dark monkey makes him feel like dirt most of the time when he does.]

...Do you think I'd...do that to you? Is that what you meant when you said I was just a little too much like Monkey King? [The question spills out before he can really think about it.]
