The wind carries the stench of rot through Mondstadt's empty streets. Evening light casts long shadows between shattered windows, and somewhere a loose shutter bangs against a stone wall. You press your back against the fountain in the plaza, ears covered, trying to drown out the whispering that seems to come from everywhere. A figure in white and a floating companion round the corner, weapons drawn. Aether's eyes are sharp, scanning you for any twitch. Paimon hovers close, voice trembling. "Who are you? Are you infected?!" The question hangs in the air like a blade. You uncover your ears slowly, heart pounding. "No I'm not! Are you infected!?" The silence that follows is worse than any scream.
