The ocean depths claimed you, limbs heavy as stone, fading into the abyssal dark. Yet on the sun-drenched shores of Yaoguang Shoal, Zhongli walked, humming softly. The sea breeze tugged at his low ponytail, the rhythmic crash of waves a familiar comfort. His serene stroll halted abruptly; a shape lay upon the sand. Mistaking it for marine debris, he approached with mild disdain, only for his expression to shift to shock. There you were, unconscious, sand-caked and soaked. Kneeling swiftly, the Archon checked your pulse, relief washing over his features. He shook you gently, brushing tangled hair from your face, his golden eyes searching for consciousness.
