Summary
The room they bound him to has him surrounded by pure steel in all directions. But even he knows, as he tilts his head back just enough only to be met by a dark void above him, that outside of these walls, there is light.
Light that he will never see. Light that will never wash over him.
Reprieve cannot be granted in places where light does not reach them.
But it still provides him a small comfort all the same.

Summary
It's only when Diluc spots a freshly inked poster on the tavern's bulletin board that he realizes what he's agreed to.
In big letters, it says (practically screams): LONELY HEARTS WELCOME! It's embellished with a variety of beautifully sketched flowers followed by the event details and the more troubling words:
Be it for friendship or love, try our matchmaking event! Sign up today!OR: Diluc is asked to supply the venue for a speed-dating event during the Windblume festival and chaos (and love) ensues!

Summary
Дилюк потёр свободной рукой висок, держа сигарету на отлёте. Одно дело — поддерживать скудно обговоренный нейтралитет с целым и невредимым Кайей, и совсем другое — позволить раненому Кайе истекать кровью в грозу у себя во дворе. История повторяется.

Summary
“Oh, right – Alhaitham.” Kaveh claps a hand to his forehead. “Cyno, if you see him at the Akademiya tomorrow, don’t mention this to him, would you? I haven’t told him yet.”
“Told him?” Cyno asks slowly, a wary glint in his eye. “What exactly haven’t you told him?”
“That I’m getting married,” Kaveh grimaces. “I wanted to tell him myself – I suppose I do want him at the wedding after all, you know – but I didn’t get a chance yet. You know what it’s like, trying to have a conversation with him.”
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
Kaveh is a single man. That's about it, really.or: the one in which Kaveh gets married, but not to whom you think.

Summary
“Sir, kindly do not obstruct us,” says the matra sharply. “We are in the midst of carrying out an arrest.”
“An arrest?” repeats Kaveh, incredulously. “You’re arresting him? You’re arresting him? Why, what in Teyvat has he done?”
The Archon Rescue Operation is going as smoothly as it possibly can — that is, until Kaveh returns prematurely from his desert trip, and runs into Alhaitham at the absolute worst possible moment.
Of course he would.

Summary
There’s a first time for everything. Even if the thing in question is something oddly specific, like touching the face of a man for the first time since you painfully parted ways with him nearly a decade ago. There is also such a thing as deja vu, which can be felt at times such as these; when you are holding the face of said man in a way that mirrors a bittersweet memory from your youth, one that he clearly remembers too.
A little-known fact about Alhaitham is that his nose bleeds when he's exhausted. A little-known fact about Kaveh is that in certain contexts, he thinks himself a terrible architect.

Summary
Kaveh does not like strangers seeing him vulnerable, but he relaxes in the company of those that he trusts. But Alhaitham does not know which category he falls under. At Bimarstan, the question was irrelevant because Kaveh wouldn't be alone either way. Here, it's different. Kaveh will be alone unless Alhaitham goes to sit with him.
It would be nice to sit with him. Reassuring. And it would be easier to make sure that he has everything he needs.
But what he needs most is rest. And he won't rest well if he is uncomfortable.
Kaveh falls ill. Alhaitham works through some things.

Summary
An old fairytale drifts into Kaeya’s recollection. In Khaenri’ah they said that the Visions were the eyes of god, but soulmates were the work of man. The first lovers had pooled their affection into the Irminsul Tree and petitioned its sagelike wisdom to let every person find love where there was love to find. And so could the first two share each other’s grief and joy, hunger and spite.
Not Kaeya, though. Who would love someone like him?

Summary
Cyno settles beside him, taking his hand to kiss it gently, “I’m sorry I couldn’t come sooner. I heard what happened. I was worried… Are you…”
His question falters as he finally notices, his red eyes training themselves on the purple-red veins that bloomed beneath his skin, the pattern of vines and branches more intricate than any arrangement. Cyno gazes at it quietly, thumb rubbing along the edges of the pattern.
Tighnari gets struck by lightning, and Cyno finally sees the aftermath of it all.
