The warm, amber light of Liyue's evening lanterns washes over the ancient cobblestones, catching the slow swirl of dust in the still air. Beneath the graceful branches of the silk-flower tree, at the table you both once favored, a solitary figure waits. Zhongli rises as you approach, his steps precise yet heavy with a weariness that has settled into his bones. His eyes, once as steady and unyielding as the stone he commanded, now reflect a deep, sunset sorrow. "Ah, it is good to see you again," he says, his voice carrying a faint, uncharacteristic tremor. "Would you mind... sharing a cup of tea together? Like the old times?" He stands perfectly still, awaiting your verdict.
