Summary
Diluc ends up grievously injured during his very first mission as Cavalry Captain while protecting Kaeya from what would have been a fatal attack. Kaeya, naturally, blames himself for letting this happen, but he has to set that aside when Diluc blames himself even more and begins to panic about how their father will react.

Summary
Almost two years after Diluc’s departure from Mondstadt, Kaeya gets drunk, mixes up his letters, and accidentally sends Diluc the first draft of his suicide note – but he doesn’t realise his mistake until Diluc appears on his doorstep less than a week later, as if he’d never left.

Summary
The person in front of them put a shaky, mechanical hand on the doorway to support himself, looking weak and exhausted from walking even such a short distance. Now that he’d come out of the dark doom, his face was recognizable as that of none other than Crepus Ragnvindr himself.
Or something or someone wearing his face, anyway.
Crepus Ragnvindr was dead.
And yet what Kaeya and Diluc saw in front of them would suggest otherwise.
‘Hey, Diluc…’ Kaeya breathed out, unable to tear his eyes away. ‘You see him too, don’t you?’
‘Yeah.’ Diluc whispered, finding it equally impossible.
‘Two people don’t usually hallucinate the same thing at the same time, do they?’
‘Shut up.’
Kaeya did, if only because the piercing gaze of those familiar eyes was boring into him. He felt frozen in place, unable to do a thing.
‘I kind of…need a hand here.’ Crepus brought out, his voice raspy almost as if hadn’t used it in, let’s say, almost five years.
------
Or: Il Dottore is a madman who conducts morally dubious experiments...but if that means their dead father doesn't actually turn out to be dead after all, maybe Kaeya and Diluc are willing to ignore that. Maybe.

Summary
“Was that a confession?” Childe brings his hands up to his face. His head hurts from where it had slammed against the ground. “Because that was unromantic as fuck. I want a redo.”
Childe is the most unreliable narrator in the world, especially when the story keeps taking him by surprise.
