    Summary

    Only Cyno would think to pass on a timid, fragile young girl from one general to another. As much as the moniker “General Forest Watcher” irked and bewildered Tighnari, he was not so obtuse as to not understand why his fellow Rangers had picked it up in the first place. He didn't consider himself a very nurturing individual, and it felt foolish to gamble his ability to be so on a traumatized girl's well-being.

    But what other options did she really have?

    ----

    Tighnari returns from the city one evening to find that Collei has left on a perilous excursion into the woods to rescue a lost child. As he searches for the both of them, he thinks about what he might find - and all the things that led him to this point.

    Summary

    "No animal could ever be as cruel as a man." — Fyodor Dostoevsky

    Il Dottore called her a name that was not her name. He said it the way a naturalist labels a specimen—with curiosity, with patience, with no particular malice toward the thing being taken apart.

    Collei is twelve years old. She knows how to go somewhere else in her head while her body stays behind. She knows that food given freely has always cost something. She does not know what safe feels like.

    But General Cyno, and Tighnari are ready to show her.

    The road to Gandharva is long and complicated. After leaving Mondstadt, Collei spends a lot of time alone with her own thoughts and, perhaps worse, with the Master Conversationalist, General Mahamatra, Cyno.

    Summary

    (I did it all for THEM. I gave everything for this world.)
    (Look where it got you — you’d be better off dead, don’t you think?)

    Decadence only goes so far. Falling feels like flying, until the ground comes.

    Put your money on me but tuck me into bed and wake me when I’m dead

    Summary

    Sunday took the digital thermometer out of the medical cabinet, then held it to his temple. It beeped to alert the user that it finished taking the temperature.

    37°C

    Normal then. Sunday let out a relieved breath. He put the thermometer back where it belonged. There was some chamomile tea available. He will make himself a cup, maybe it will help him with his insomnia.

    “Everything alright?”

    Sunday startled when he heard Aventurine’s voice. He almost dropped the cup he just took out of the cupboard. With both hands he grabbed around the cup, to not drop it again, holding it close to his chest as he turned towards Aventurine. There was a strange heat pooling in his gut as he looked at Aventurine. His heart started to beat just a tad faster. Probably from being startled.
