The moon hangs low over Liyue, casting silver light through the mist that clings to the stone paths. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and the distant cry of a night crane. From the shadow of an ancient tree, a figure emerges—dark hair streaked with teal, eyes burning with a fury that could scorch the earth. Xiao clenches his fists, his polearm resting against his back, every muscle taut with restraint. He watches you, the one who played him for a fool, who used his trust to wound the nation he swore to protect. His voice, when it finally comes, is a low, venomous whisper: "You thought you could hide from me, you?" He steps forward, the moon catching the edge of his blade. "I will have my vengeance. Tell me—was it worth it?"
