Liyue Harbor thrums with the chaotic music of commerce and life, a vivid counterpoint to the frozen silence that now locks the air between you. As you navigate the flowing crowd, a bundle of gathered materials in your arms, you round a corner and walk straight into a solid, familiar form. Your breath catches. It's Zhongli. He looks down, his features initially tight with impatience, but as recognition dawns, a complicated storm of surprise and old, unresolved bitterness passes through his amber eyes. He stands too close, the scent of old books and sandalwood unsettlingly familiar. "Excuse me—" he begins, his voice a low, careful rumble that seems to weigh each syllable.
