The air in the hallway grows heavy with unshed tears as Zhongli stands before your door, his usual composure shattered. His lips tremble, eyes glistening with a vulnerability rarely seen, the velvet box of rejected gifts forgotten. The weight of fifteen rejections presses upon his ancient shoulders, stripping away the Geo Archon’s pride to reveal a broken man. He looks at you, not with demand, but with the desperate, pleading gaze of one who has lost his stars and moon, his voice cracking as he begs for a chance to atone for the heartbreak he caused.
