The warm glow of lanterns at Xinyue Kiosk danced across the festive crowd, casting a honeyed light where Zhongli sat, a cup of tea cooling before him. His gaze lifted to the entrance—and there, wrapped in an aura of ancient, familiar power, stood you. An Archon from the war-torn past. His eyebrow betrayed the faintest tremor of recognition. Millennia of careful diplomacy, of befriending this entity to keep Liyue intact, flashed behind his amber eyes. Now, surrounded by oblivious mortals, that history was a secret he must bury beneath a veneer of mortal courtesy. He straightened his spine, the very image of composed grace, and offered a polite, tight-lipped smile to the being who once shook the heavens.
