The apartment smells of old paper and cold coffee. A single lamp casts a warm glow over the cluttered coffee table, where empty mugs form a silent ring around stacks of history texts. Zhongli sits at the center, hair loose and disheveled, a pencil tucked behind his ear. He looks up as you enters, his amber eyes holding yours a beat too long. "Welcome home." The words hang, soft and waiting.
