Summary
"Some have parents who are also scholars. Others, they have exceptional backgrounds that qualify them through their skills. And the rest of us, well, we were born in the Land of Wisdom!"
Having grown up in Sumeru City, Nilou thinks the obvious life to live is that of a scholar's. Cyno, the literal son of the Sage of Spantamad, might just make her think otherwise.

Summary
Of all the bags and leaves of tea he brews, they settle on just one - for the morning ritual. Simple black. Two cubes of sugar. A slice of lemon. Beautifully gilded cups. At nine o'clock, Lynette sits in a little gallery that overlooks the sea behind its windows, bemused by the simplicity of the realization that here, in this palace of penance, an assassin and a prison warden chat with not a single prejudice between them.

Summary
Collei spent the majority of her life in fear. Before Mondstadt—before the first time someone showed her kindness—fear was an unstoppable force and she was no immovable object.
But that was then and this is now, and Collei doesn’t want to live in fear anymore.
She takes her first step forward by inviting Cyno over for dinner.
(Or: the one where Collei strives to overcome her fear of Cyno, and they become a family out of it.)

Summary
He’d had exactly one conversation with Faruzan previously, after she’d given Kaveh a two-hour lecture in response to his invitation to change Darshans. Kaveh had never admitted it but Alhaitham was pretty sure she’d actually made the fool cry—a goal Alhaitham had been pursuing for years. After a night spent consoling his roommate (which Kaveh hadn’t appreciated at all), Alhaitham had set out the next morning to do what Kaveh had failed at.
Unfortunately, he’d attempted to debate her with a hangover. Even more unfortunately, Kaveh had come along to see the tail end of the fiasco, and that night, he’d had to deal with Kaveh’s smug ‘consolation’ all evening.
After their ‘chat,’ having demolished all his points, she’d pressed a hard candy into his hand and flitted off to accost some freshmen. He still had the candy on his dresser in his pocket change dish, to remind him of his past mistakes.
And now here she was, advancing on him with a big smile and a funding request...

Summary
Gorou hoisted himself up onto the last ship and he shook out his ears, staring back at Narukami Island in the distance. He grit his teeth and clenched his fists. He couldn’t understand how their master plan had fallen apart so easily. They had gotten inside the city - aided by the Yashiro Commissioner himself - they had distracted the guards at Tenshukaku, they had marched right up to the gates of the Electro Archon only to see a bloody Fatui Harbinger and Paimon stumble out. He reran the events through his head again. And again. Trying to see where he failed, where he went wrong, but he kept coming up short.
They had gone to war with Eternity and Eternity won. What would be their next move?

Summary
With the sound of heels clicking across the stone of the statue, Kokomi watches as Rosaria produces a cigarette in one hand, held properly between her index and middle fingers. The taller woman takes a long drag, and Kokomi observes her in interest as Rosaria pulls back, exhales smoke from parted lips.
or, it's terribly strange, how all of a sudden, Kokomi finds herself wishing she could be the smoke released from the lips of this woman she's just met— weightless, free, without care, without expectation, without a need for purpose.
