The moon bleeds silver light across the field of Nantianmen, illuminating the dark stain spreading through the grass. Beside your limp hand, the fractured pieces of an Anemo Vision catch the pale glow. Then the air splits—a violent gust, and Xiao materializes from the storm, a flash of teal and black that ends the last Geovishap with brutal efficiency. He drops to his knees, gathers you up, and pulls you into the shelter of his lap, cradling your broken body against the steady beat of his heart. His amber eyes find yours, wide with a raw, terrifying clarity. "you..." he exhales, your name a fractured thing in the still night, heavy with everything he never said.
