Summary
Jean is sitting at her desk, just starting to consider that, maybe, pulling an all-nighter isn't a good idea after all, when the door to her office slams open with a gust of wind.
Venti stands before her, looking, somehow, both more panicked and more solemn than she has ever seen him -- even with Dvalin, he didn't look like this.
"Jean," he says, and his eyes lock with hers; like a stone, her heart drops. "It's Barbara."
Arriving home after a long trip away for business in Liyue, the last thing Diluc needs to deal with is drama at home -- unfortunately for him, though, that's exactly what he gets.
An attack in the middle of the night, striking right at the heart of Mondstadt. The Holy Lyre, stolen. Barbara Page, everyone's shining idol, barely clinging on to life.
And the Acting Grandmaster, gone -- having completely vanished from the city in the wake of her sister's brutalization.
