    Summary

    The lights came up: Withnail said, “Oh, you should have seen us.”

    It was a grand show. Or it could have been, if it hadn’t been playing in a dank, leaking dungeon deep below Cowgate with the occasional blowjob taking place in the back row.

    The amount of uppers that must be shuttling through the streets of Edinburgh at this moment in order to keep the whole lunatic thing rolling along was beyond comprehension. Although, he considered, did they do uppers anymore? Certainly not the same uppers as they had once done: they being he and Withnail, at one point in time. They had other stuff. Websites.

    The breeze stirs Ayato’s sake in his cup, a faint tremor that starts at one side, then the other, again and again until the entire surface is never-ending ripples. In each ripple there’s a sliver of Kamisato Ayato, his reflection fragmented and splintered into a strip of eyelash, a flash of skin, a shining eye, parted lips.

    He wets those lips before he replies, “I think that eternity is, for any one human, fleeting. Eternity is the steps we all walk. My father held a knife to eat, so I hold I knife to eat, so my children will hold a knife to eat. That is eternity, and between them, we are free to do whatever we think is justice.”

    Summary

    Fire. Heat. Rot. Hu Tao is fast when she runs, a flurry of sparks and butterflies whirling crimson at her nimble heels. Branches strike at Qiqi's face, tearing her clothes and pulling her braid, but Hu Tao seems to flit right through them, gaining on her. She is laughing. Her laughter is an ugly, fake sound, taunting and cruel.

    To Hu Tao, this is a fun game. How Qiqi despises her.

    Once, after a heavy rainfall, Qiqi was out picking glaze lilies and realized she stepped on a snail. The little shell was broken to pieces that stuck to her shoe. She had not even realized she killed something until she saw what was left of it.

    Qiqi wrote that must be how the adepti felt when they found her. A crushed snail. Utterly insignificant, but still dead, because it got too close.

    "Yes," said Zhongli, "but as to our friend Paimon's hypothetical: if, at the exact moment of insemination..."

    "Paimon was just curious but Paimon is still trying to eat here and you are ruining the taste of eggs for her."

    "Comrade," said Childe, face buried in his hands. "Girlie... I know we had a... moment earlier, but..."

    "I get it," said Lumine, staring vacantly into the distance. "I'll never be able to see your face without remembering this accursed conversation."

    Summary

    Mondstadt. He rolls the name of the region over his tongue. Moon City. They have good wine. Lovely taverns. He sees a ghost missing a blue eye, who hadn’t yet realised he’s dead, and uses all that he’s learned over the past 500 years to not throw up at the sight. He drinks. He sees things that aren’t there. The bartender, a pleasant man by the name of Charles, hands him the bottle of wine he ordered in advance. Dainsleif slumps into the bench in a dark corner of the tavern, swirls his drink—’dandelion wine’, he thinks is what Charles the bartender called it—around his mouth, and thinks about Khaenri’ah.

    The fall of Khaenri'ah, and what happens before that.

    “Alright, alright,” says the first. “You really ought to slow down a little, you know? Live life a little. We’re immortal, after all. We have time.” It lifts its sword. It brings down its sword. The final tower of Khaenri’ah falls, and that’s the end of that.

    Summary

    Inside the Northland Bank's most secure vault, Childe squirms on the ground atop piles of mora as Zhongli ties his hands together.

    After he finds out Zhongli's true identity, Childe proposes an agreement wherein he gives Zhongli mora, and in return, Zhongli beats him up. It's kind of like asking him out, disguised as revenge. Or maybe it’s the opposite. Either way, Zhongli insists on a contract.

    But Zhongli feels tired at the prospect of this inelegant, violent contract. He grasps the pot of tea to pour himself another cup, but it’s empty. "This is how you would take your payment from me?"

    Childe breaks into a sharp-edged smile that lights his face up. "I knew you'd consider it."

    Her right hand is armored with calluses along the top of the palm, just beneath the fingers, from the ridged handle of her sword. The left is so scorched by magic that the skin has gone white and webbed and stretched across the bone—commonplace enough for mages, he knows, but the smoothness of her scars when he cradles that hand in his own, the unexpected, even coolness of her skin, are like nothing else he’s ever touched.

By the time the credits finished rolling, she’d passed it to a teenager who was whimpering behind her.
