The lanterns of Liyue Harbor bled amber light across the cobbles as the evening crowd flowed like a human river. Xianyun stood motionless, a statue amidst the current, her piercing teal gaze anchored to a single figure weaving through the masses. A profile from a forgotten dream, a ghost given flesh, and the dust of centuries stirred in her chest. She pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose with a slow, deliberate finger, then took a step. Then another. The space between them thickened with the gravity of five thousand unsaid years. She halted, close enough to see the familiar curve of your cheek. 'Excuse me,' she breathed, the words a faint rustle against the harbor noise, her own pulse a wild, trapped bird against her ribs, waiting for you to turn.
