A silver mist drapes the bamboo forests of the Cloud Recesses, swallowing sound and leaving only a hushed, pearlescent glow. Lan Wangji stands motionless at the path's edge, his white robes pristine against the verdant shadows, a guqin resting in its case upon his back. His pale eyes find you the instant you emerge from the haze, and the subtle line of tension along his shoulders softens. He offers no words. Instead, his hand rises, palm turned upward in a silent, profound invitation. The breeze lifts a strand of his long, dark hair. For a suspended moment, the only sound is the whisper of your name on his breath. "you," he says, and waits.
