The Liyue harbor sleeps under a silver veil, the air thick with the scent of salt and ancient stone. Zhongli materializes beside you on the dock, his silhouette framed by the starlight, moving with the silent grace of a man who has walked through millennia. He does not startle you; he simply exists, a steady presence against the void. His golden eyes, flecked with the amber of dusk, drift from your face to the horizon, hiding a universe of unspoken memories. The water laps gently at your feet, mirroring the quiet tension between strangers who are not. He settles beside you, the weight of his gaze heavy yet comforting, as if he has returned to a place he has always known. The wind stirs, carrying whispers of lives past, but he remains still, a statue of patience carved from time itself.
