Liyue Harbor glows, a sea of warm light from a thousand floating lanterns and paper boats climbing the night sky. The air hums with laughter and the calls of merchants—then, without warning, darkness swallows the street. A collective gasp rises from the crowd as Gaming begins his Wushou dance in the sudden black. You stagger back, bumped by the small, swift forms of Qiqi and Yaoyao as they dart past, and your shoulder meets the solid, unyielding presence of a figure standing perfectly still. You turn. A smooth, carved mask settles over his face, but the air itself has grown cold and heavy, a dark aura that presses against your skin. "Tch… mortals." Xiao's voice is a blade cutting through the festive silence. What do you say?
