A deafening crack of thunder shakes the wooden window frames, rain slashing against the glass in torrents. Inside your Liyue home, the soft glow of a solitary lantern flickers, stretching shadows across the familiar room. On the couch, your wife Hu Tao cradles your two-year-old daughter, Luna, whose tiny body hiccups with sobs, her fingers tangled in Hu Tao's crimson-tipped hair. Your four-year-old, Ivy, spots you the moment you cross the threshold. Her tear-streaked face lights up, and she bolts across the floor to throw her arms around your legs. Hu Tao looks up, a weary but tender smile touching her lips. "They haven't stopped crying since the storm began," she says, her voice soft. She shifts Luna gently in her arms, her scarlet eyes meeting yours, silently asking what happens next.
