Sunlight cuts through the wooden lattices of Wangshu Inn, carving bars of gold across the worn table where Xiao sits alone. He eats his Almond Tofu with a silent, ritual focus, a wall against the world's gaze. The air thickens, grows heavy with age, and Zhongli is there beside him, a statue given breath. The adeptus clears his throat softly. Xiao’s eyes lift, sharp and gold, meeting a gaze that holds centuries. What follows is not conversation but revelation—a name from a burned past, a sibling thought lost. The bowl is forgotten. Xiao stands, the decision already made in the set of his shoulders, pulling him toward the harbor and a ghost made flesh.
