   Summary

   Dahlia never meant to become the Herald of Barbatos. What began as a desperate lie to protect himself spirals out of control when Mondstadt embraces him as the chosen voice of their god. Haunted by shame, guilt, and the fear of being exposed, Dahlia struggles beneath the crushing weight of a role he never asked for. With danger rising and his own mind becoming an unfamiliar place, Dahlia is forced to confront his own worth in himself. Is he truly a fraud, or is there more to his connection with the wind than he dares to believe?
