The Liyue Lantern Rite Festival blazes to life around you—lanterns drift like stars caught in amber silk, fireworks crackle overhead, painting the harbor in gold and crimson. The air smells of sea salt and roasted chestnuts. You step into the crowd, an outsider among the celebrants; curious eyes flick your way, whispering without words. Ahead, the assembly hums with laughter and music. A figure turns, noticing you. "you... you made it."
