Summary
It has been happening a lot lately.
Ganyu showed up at the inn far more than usual. Her presence didn't bother Xiao, but if she happened to show up while he was meditating he always lost focus. He wasn't quite sure why, and he didn't want to waste too much time delving into it. So he just shrugged it off.
What did bother him was the reason she kept showing up.

Summary
He's never heard his name spoken with such urgency before. It's far from a command, and lacked the proper lilt of a request. It's a timid whisper that sends a shiver down his spine. He hears it again, but this time it's so intense that he feels it.
All he knows for certain is the lips that it comes from are sweeter than any dream he's ever tasted…

Summary
The last of anything was often meant for contemplation. Whether it be a book series, a play, a season, a day or the year, one could look back on all of the good, and all of the unfortunate and grow henceforth.
As the God of Contracts, Rex Lapis saw the end of many things, both good and otherwise. Many of which were done with his own two hands.
Though one thing that often came too quickly was the end of the year. Sometimes many things changed in the blink of an eye, others it almost dragged on until it was long gone and suddenly it was history.No matter how the year went, he always took the time to reflect so that he may help to better the lives of those in Liyue. And perhaps himself as well.

Summary
There is almost none so closed off and guarded as the last remaining Guardian Yaksha.
Ganyu knows this well, perhaps more so than any else, as she has been spending such a long time carefully deconstructing each wall that makes up his solid defenses— the only way she knows how, brick by brick. Each piece she made sure to preserve, just in case he needed them someday…
Though, despite how careful and graceful many believed the half qilin to be, Ganyu thought herself to often be quite clumsy.
Intending only to finish the wall she started during an intimate night, and perhaps knock on another, she unknowingly removes a keystone that makes them all crumble to dust…

Summary
Duty always comes first. A fool is the one who forgets it.
"Ganyu, stop being difficult and come with me already. If the humans want to stand on their own so much, then let them. There is no reason for you to sacrifice anymore for them. Not like this."
"I must assist as much as I can. It's my duty."
"Our duty to them is not as it once was. Remember, this is the age of humans, so—"
"Xiao… I'm human too."
"Ganyu, I... Don't do this… please, I-I—"
"I'm sorry."
"...Fine."
Xiao was wary of something stirring deep in the depths ever since Osial broke free from the ocean surface. He could almost feel it. Until one day, that feeling was undeniable.
But what bothered him the most was how arrogant the mortals were. Lately the harbor reeked with pride, and it made him uneasy. How could they be so careless? So ignorant?
But most importantly, how could she be so confident in them?

Summary
Xiao never cared about The Lantern Rite. It was just a time when humans threw their garbage into the sea under the guise of honor and tradition. The cleanup was never perfect, and sometimes he still found old lanterns stuck in a tree weeks later.
The only saving grace being that the lanterns would eventually return to the earth anyway. He never saw a reason to actually go, never cared much for seeing the likeness of a friend he couldn't save.
Until one day he sees those ridiculous lights reflected back at him in pools of warm evening sunlight. And he thinks he might finally understand why mortals have fallen so deeply in love with the wondrous glow of stars made by their own two hands.
"Alright, Xiao. Make sure you have your wish!"
He can't help but wonder if there really is anyone dead or alive, demented or divine that would truly seek to grant him a wish…
"We'll release it on the count of three!"
But, a sound sweeter than wind chimes graces his ears, and he realizes then, that he might have already been granted his wish…
"Okay…"

Snippets of Xiao's interactions with Ganyu well before the peak of the Archon war. Before the wild glaze lilies died...
"Ganyu?"
He'd only seen her a handful of times, but each meeting was engraved in his memory. He not only remembered the conversation, but he remembered the scent in the air, the sound of the wind, the warmth of the sun, the gentle tones of her voice.
"You remember me?"
"Of course I do, it hasn't been that long."
