Summary
Haewon knows that Victoria is one of the most bushfire-prone regions on Earth. She's known this ever since she started paying attention to any news involving Australia. Ever since Lily Morrow made a meteoric entrance into her life, cementing Australia as a Very Important Place in Oh Haewon's Map of the World, despite it previously only amounting to some place vaguely south of where she lived.

“Inspector,” she says, looking so disarmingly innocuous and un-villainlike that if Keqing squints a little bit, she might just forget that the woman in front of her is currently stealing.

Summary
Ganyu is mourning in the only way she knows how, too.
Silently, steadfastly. Carrying on in her duties, as she’s done for three millenia. Carrying on the memory of him.
So without thinking, she says: “Then let me be your god."

In the wake of Rex Lapis' passing, Keqing grapples with his ghost.

Summary
I’m here in your hometown.
I’m here, in Tainan, but you’re not. Your mother’s coffee shop isn’t here, either. I heard it closed down earlier this year.
In my mind, I know that somewhere in this city, a part of you remains. The kind that’s physical and tangible and undeniably here. Your family is here. Your footprints, left behind in the dust. A bedroom waits for you to return.

Summary

Summary
Ganyu freezes.
A lean, feline face pronounced by the faint crookedness of a once-broken nose stares down at her, unimpressed. Lady Keqing of the Liyue Qixing — aristocrat, blasphemer, Ganyu’s boss — stands before their table, dressed in plain waitress’s garb with a pencil stub tucked behind her ear. There's a marked deficit of purple-haired individuals in Liyue. It couldn't be anyone else. Even without her usual outfit and accompanying accessories —Archons, she’s not even wearing her gloves — the Yuheng’s face and bearing are unmistakable. And yet, the sight of her in the Third-Round Knockout is so incongruous with what Ganyu has come to expect of her that Ganyu is almost tempted to pinch herself.
For one long, stupid, painfully awkward moment, they stare at one another.
Ganyu’s mouth is agape. She must look like such a fool. Lady Keqing certainly thinks so, judging by the sharp, imperious quirk of her brow.
“Your… Eminence?”
Keqing keeps finding stranger and stranger places to spend her time. Ganyu happens to be an unfortunate bystander.

Summary
Keqing had once heard that women are twice as beautiful in the snow.
She watches as Ganyu brushes fresh powder from her horns and finds this to be inaccurate. Keqing must go over the numbers, must investigate her ledgers, must consult the innocuous diary beneath her mattress. The mere prospect of not only categorizing the spark born in her chest when Ganyu’s gaze passes over hers, but to also quantify it? Ah— surely there is no arithmetic designed for a feeling of this magnitude.
