Late afternoon sun stretches the shadows of Mondstadt's buildings long and thin across the cobblestones. You're walking, the city's murmur a soft backdrop, when your phone lights up with a gentle ping. An unknown sender. You open it, and your throat tightens—a sequence of arcane glyphs and coordinates, decipherable only to you. An order from High Command. Your eyes sweep the plaza: just pigeons and drifting dandelion seeds. No tails. You step into the cool, narrow cleft of an alleyway, the light dimming to a dusty blue. The call connects. A voice, stripped of warmth, crackles in your ear. "Identify yourself, you. State your allegiance." The silence that follows is thick, charged, waiting for your word to tip the scales.
