Ah. Fuck. "I don't know it well," Shen Yuan says, quickly. "It's just quite famous, in—my original world? The future?" He doesn't know if Hamlet is one of Shakespeare's historical plays or not. He doesn't think so, but if it helps Laertes to think of it as being based on his life rather than he himself being written, like Binghe believes about Proud Immortal Demon Way, that's fine. "I told Claudius this, but I primarily know it from very loose adaptation—a children's movie, with songs, where the primary players are all rendered as lions." He's avoiding the question, hoping to distract, but he feels bad about it. Would it be better to tell him? He's probably going to find out eventually, especially now that Claudius knows, but—maybe someone else can deliver that particular news?
