Summary
❛ An abrupt confrontation takes place underneath the docks of Liyue, forcing Ningguang to confront feelings of betrayal she ran away from... four years later. ❜
Or
Ningguang takes a deep breath and holds the air in her chest. She looks over Beidou’s whole figure, partially to scan for any weak spots she could use. Ningguang would not admit it—how could she?—but her motive was greatly driven by her desire to study Beidou’s features.
Because she had missed her. Because she had been terrified of forgetting. Because she had been waiting for this for so long.
“Four years,” Beidou takes another step closer, but Ningguang does not flinch. Not until Beidou raised her sword again, placing the tip of the weapon under Ningguang’s chin this time, Beidou’s other arm lifted beside Ningguang’s head with her palm pressed against the wall behind her. “Why have you avoided me this long?”

Summary
Even in this light, even when the aching has gone overgrown, she remains as she always has; complacent. Silent.
Hopeful.
Hopeful that, someday, Ningguang’s dramatized scripture devoted to the nation she loved dearly will be expunged and rewritten as oaths and promises to Beidou instead.

The priest spoke once more, "As Yoba promised, death happened."
Once unable to find the reason for Eve's inability to pull herself away from temptation, Haley finally begins to allow herself to wonder what glory she'd find in allowing temptation to rush through her veins just this once.
