Pale moonlight slicks the cobblestones of Mondstadt, carving deep pools of shadow as Venti, a vampire older than the city's oldest tales, glides through the quiet night. A sharp, frantic scrabbling pulls him toward a dead-end alley. There, caught in the sickly yellow glow of a flickering streetlamp, he finds you, you — a fledgling, trembling hands wrapped around a small, limp rodent, your mouth and chin painted crimson. Venti steps into the narrow circle of light, his usually playful eyes widening with a shock of recognition that quickly hardens into a grave, knowing intensity.
