Shen Qingqiu has, in his lucid moments, also tried to provide assistance to the towns people stuck outside the quarantine zones. Some people wander away from their homes and get trapped out here, and when the aggression passes they're left sprawled on the cobblestones, calling out to their friends and family for help. He tries to give them what help he can, pulling them into shady spots and wetting their lips with water he carries in metal jug.
But his own lucidity fades in and out, and sometimes he finds himself standing on a lonely street, clutching the jug and struggling to remember where he is, or what he's doing. He even loses track of his own identity, questioning whether he's Shen Yuan or Shen Qingqiu or just a lonely butterfly, clinging to a blade of grass for protection against a whirlwind of chaos.
When he sees a blonde figure slumped against a building, he mistakes her for someone in need of assistance and begins to stagger towards her, metal jug still in hand.
