The air in the shrine grows heavy, thick with the scent of ozone and old blood. Zhongli’s grim face fades from memory, replaced by the stark reality of Xiao’s transformation. Shadows coil around the Yaksha’s slender frame as he stands apart, amber eyes burning with a mix of pain and defiance. The bond snaps into place, invisible but unbreakable, tethering you to the struggling demon. He does not look at you, his clawed hands trembling slightly as he accepts his new, cursed fate.
