Summary
This is where he meets Childe. Tartaglia. The Harbinger, as Beidou likes to say with distaste. Ajax.
Kazuha doesn’t know all those names yet. He will soon, but at the moment, he only knows Childe as a tall, handsome stranger sitting alone in the crowded Wanmin Restaurant, who’d smiled warmly at Kazuha and asked, “Want to share a table?"
on love after loss after love.

Summary
She speaks of it like a legend. The Raiden Shogun’s vessel of eternity is sequestered away in a new wing of the Tenshukaku, cherry-picking those targeted by the Vision Hunt Decree for his own purposes. What happens to them after they pass through the palace’s threshold is unknown - only that those who enter are never seen again.
But Tartaglia is no ordinary mortal. He has escaped the greatest depths of misery, has bitten into death, has crawled out from the crack of reality with palms cut by ore and blade.
“Recruiting him will not be a matter of forcing him into submission. No force, no violence,” says the disembodied voice of the Tsaritsa. “You are almost certainly weaker than he is, and you will be in such close quarters with the Electro archon that any whisper of betrayal in those corridors will result in your swift execution on the steps of the palace."
“Weaker than a god’s vessel. In the flesh, perhaps, but in spirit?” Tartaglia says, his head lowered in a bow. “I will subdue him.”

Bookmarker's Notes
The image rises up in Childe's mind. Stubborn and vivid. Kazuha beneath the Raiden Shogun’s vessel, their nighttime kimonos puddled around their knees.
Childe remains there for longer than he should, but he takes care to not let his silhouette catch in the paper doors. He holds his breath close to his body, listens in on one of the many secrets of the palace.
“Kazuha.”
The cherry blossom trees shiver, not from the wind, but in the wanton delight of their eternal undressing.
“Kazuha."

Summary
The world is not kind to those who are beautiful.
Flowers wilt far sooner than the trees and bushes they adorn, larvae that transform into butterflies have but a few weeks to live, and the happiest moments pass the fastest, becoming memories with each step in the march of time. It’s because of this law of the world, this cruelty towards the elegant, that it becomes instinct to “capture” such things, to keep them for as long as possible.Perhaps, that’s why the people of Sumeru, over the course of the last century, continue to approach the hat-wearing assistant to their archon. They ask for his hand, mostly drunkenly, and they make comments on his fair and unblemished face, comparing his skin to porcelain. They compliment his attire, his hat, most often, with flowery words and sweet smiles. Despite all this, the infamous “Hat Guy” remains unphased, and rejects all advances with the same sentence.
“My heart is buried in a Liyuean field, and I don’t intend on giving it away,”
