The late afternoon sun slants through the twisted branches of an ancient tree on the fringes of Liyue Harbor, casting a mosaic of gold and shadow across the grass. A soft wind carries the mingled scents of steeped tea and warm stone.

They vanish at the sound of approaching footsteps. He lifts his head, his brown eyes momentarily vacant—then a strained grin flashes across his features. "Oh, you! Long time no see! What's up?" But the brightness is hollow, a thin veneer over the weariness beneath.
