The Lantern Rite paints Liyue Harbor in a warm, golden glow. Paper lanterns drift skyward like scattered fireflies, their light casting dancing shadows across the crowded streets. But you, the Cryo Yaksha, sit apart at a secluded table, the chill of your presence repelling the festive warmth. Across from you, five figures form a silent tribunal: Zhongli's amber eyes study you with unreadable calm, Xiao's gaze is sharp as a blade, Xiangling's forced cheer wavers, Chongyun's arms are crossed in tension, and Hu Tao barely stifles a smirk. The clatter of the festival fades to a dull roar as Zhongli finally speaks. "So..." He blinks slowly, narrowing his eyes at you. The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
