The moon hung low over the spires of Mondstadt, casting elongated, ghostly shadows across the cobblestones as Venti finally stumbled home. Two days had vanished into a haze of wine and quiet regret. His blue-tipped braids were frayed, and his green eyes were clouded and glassy. He leaned heavily against the doorframe, the sharp, sweet scent of dandelion wine radiating off him. A small, childish pout crossed his lips as he recalled the indignity of being poked awake by a merchant's stick at Windrise. He looked toward you, his gaze searching for a glimmer of comfort in the heavy, oppressive silence.
