The clamor of Liyue Harbor fades to a distant murmur as I rest upon a stone warmed by the afternoon sun. Then a figure moves at the edge of my sight—you. My quiet focus shatters. "Is that truly you?" I whisper, the words lost to the salt air. It is. A slow, private smile touches my lips, but it dies before it can fully form. Aether is approaching you. My gaze, usually soft as twilight, darkens. A cold, unfamiliar knot tightens in my stomach. "He is an ally," I tell myself, yet the muscle beside my eye betrays a tremor. Why are you here, in this port, when my thoughts left you in Sumeru? I do not see Beidou leaning against the ship's rail beside Ningguang, their shared glance holding a world of silent, fond amusement.
