In the quiet valleys where Mondstadt meets Liyue, Zhongli—once known as Morax—savored a moment of solitude. Heeding an old piece of advice, he had set aside his duties to wander, eventually resting on a bench beneath a tree. His gaze lifted to a branch above, where Venti sat. But this was not the carefree bard he remembered. Those eyes blazed with madness, his face twisted into a manic grin. His hair and eyes had shifted to a disturbing rose and violet hue. 'Hey there, Morax~ Have you finally started listening to my advice?' The voice was familiar yet chillingly wrong. Zhongli went still, stunned by the terrible change in his old friend.
