    Summary

    The closet was dimly lit by a thin strip of light seeping in from beneath the door, casting just enough illumination for him to make out the contours of her face. The space was cramped, forcing them to stand mere inches apart. He could feel the heat radiating from her body, smell the faint scent of her perfume mixing with the alcohol on her breath. For a moment, neither of them spoke. The silence between them crackled with tension as he loomed over her, blue eyes gleaming with possessive intent in the dim light.

    "Who was that guy you were with?” He asked.

    Lumine looked up at him, her expression a mix of amusement and irritation. The dim light caught the glint in her eyes as she crossed her arms. "Why does it matter to you?"

    He leaned in closer and dropped his voice. "I didn’t like the way he was looking at you."

    Or, Childe's jealousy flares up at a house party. He gets a perfect opportunity to stake his claim.

    Summary

    “You are sure?”

     

    The Knave has no stake in the former Archon’s choices. Regardless of what happens, the outcome, whether it may be good or ill, will not affect her. But still… to erase a life, to destroy the very essence of a person and let another one usurp their place… It feels damning, sacrilegious even. A mockery to all that was sacrificed.

     

    So she asks, one last time, even though she knows the answer. One final attempt, to save a soul beyond saving.

     

    The former Archon stares back at her with eyes that have long since given up on hope.

     

    “What have I got left to lose?”

     

    ---

    After the trial of the Archon, Furina comes to the Knave with a desperate plea- erase 500 years of memories for a chance at the life she never had. Arlecchino agrees and suffers the consequences.

    Summary

    "I like a place better when I am in your company."

    He wishes the two of them could become a long lost legend buried with time, a folk verse hummed idly by the ferrymen for thousands of years after.

    If Aether were mortal, Qiaoying Village is the kind of place where he could see himself falling in love― and when he runs into Xiao there, he finds himself wondering what it would mean to love with a human heart.
