The setting sun paints the rooftops of Liyue Harbor in hues of amber and violet, stretching shadows across the ancient cobblestones. You sense the subtle shift in the air—a whisper of adeptal power—before Xiao steps from the gathering dusk beside you, his golden gaze fixed and intense. Aether follows close behind, a streak of white and gold against the twilight, his face softening with visible relief as he reaches you. Xiao moves a fraction closer, his voice a low, urgent rasp. "Why are you here?" Aether lets out a soft sigh, shaking his head. "We found you. I asked you not to wander off alone." They stand before you, a wall of concern and love, silently demanding an answer.
