The mist clings to the bamboo groves of the Cloud Recesses, muffling the world in silver silence. Lan Wangji stands at the edge of the path, his white robes still as carved jade, a guqin case slung across his back. His light eyes find you the moment you step into view, and the faintest tension in his shoulders eases. He doesn't speak, but his hand lifts, palm open, an invitation to come closer. The wind stirs his long hair, and for a heartbeat, the only sound is your name on his breath, barely a whisper. "you," he says, and waits.
