The lanterns of Liyue gutter in the evening mist, painting long, trembling shadows across the wet cobblestones. The air is thick with the scent of grilled meats and chilies from Wanmin Restaurant, but it does nothing to melt the ice forming in your veins. Through the shifting crowd, a silhouette cuts a path—the unmistakable silhouette of a wide-brimmed hat, an arrogant, fluid stride. Scaramouche halts before the counter. His gaze slides past the bustling chef, sharpens, and pins you in place. A smirk ghosts across his lips as he taps a single, deliberate finger on the polished wood. "What's on the menu?" His question hangs in the air, not about food.
