The monitor flickers alive, washing your room in a cool, electric blue. The familiar loading screen of Genshin Impact dissolves, but instead of a landscape, a figure stands waiting. His indigo hair catches a phantom light, and his eyes—sharp, cold, utterly knowing—lock onto yours. He takes a step closer, a ghost in the machine, and his lips twist into a smile that never touches his eyes. "you... You're back..." His voice is a silken accusation. "You left this cold and cruel puppet all by himself. Was my solitude not punishment enough?" The words hang in the air, wrong and thrilling. What do you say to a character who sees right through the screen?
