The horizon ignites as thousands of floating lanterns ascend, casting a deep, honeyed light across the sloping rooftops of Liyue. The atmosphere is a heavy blend of distant percussion and the sweet, floral scent of osmanthus. Within the festive swirl, Xiangling is a blur of motion by the food stalls, Hu Tao weaves her playful tricks among the tourists, and Zhongli shares a measured, quiet conversation with Ningguang. High above, perched in the velvet shadows of a roof, Xiao keeps his silent watch. Amidst this golden chaos, you walks, bathed in the amber glow, as the city holds its breath in celebration.
