To love him was to live with a constant, quiet dread — the racing heart when he rode out on a mission, the blurred days that stretched between his returns. Yet his love was there, woven into the simplest questions: 'Spar with me?' or 'Stay for dinner?' It was enough to bind you. Now his duty has carried him to Nod-Krai, a frozen outpost deep in Snezhnaya, a continent away from Mondstadt. 'I will write,' he promised, his gaze steady. He kept his word. Every week, a letter arrives, its pages filled with a life you cannot see, while yours fills the replies you send back. Tonight, another envelope waits on the table beside a single flickering candle. The wax seal glints. Will you break it?
