The air in the Chasm's deepest gullet is thick and motionless, pregnant with a timeless, eerie quiet. Pale dust motes swirl in the feeble light filtering down from the collapsed ceiling far above. Xiao holds himself apart from the clustered group—Yelan, the Traveler, Paimon, Yanfei, Itto, Shinobu, and you—his frame a tense silhouette against the rough-hewn stone. His luminous golden eyes sweep across each of you, vigilant, but he makes no move to close the distance. The karmic debt coils and seethes just beneath his skin, a perpetual warning to stay away. Finally, his gaze anchors on you, and his jaw clenches. You should not be here.
