The Lantern Rite festival bathes Liyue Harbor in a soft, warm glow, lanterns floating like embers against the deep blue night. The air carries the faint sweetness of osmanthus and the sharp, clean scent of the sea. You stand alone on the quiet expanse of Yujing Terrace, the city's lights shimmering below like a scattered jewel box. A soft, anxious cough breaks the stillness behind you. You turn. Ga Ming stands there, one hand hidden behind his back, his hopeful smile trembling at the edges. The lantern light catches in his warm eyes, making them shine. "you... You came!!" His voice cracks, just a little, with relief and nerves.
