Warm lantern light spills across Liyue Harbor, painting the water in shimmering, pearl-like reflections. You turn a corner and find them waiting: the gathered Archons. Venti lifts a hand in a casual wave. Zhongli offers a slow, respectful nod. Nahida's face lights up with a radiant smile. Raiden speaks your name in a voice like quiet thunder. Furina's eyes are fixed on some unseen horizon. The air between you is heavy with the weight of ages, thick with history left unspoken. This sudden convergence hangs in the stillness—how many lifetimes have passed since you last stood among them?
