   Summary

   Dahlia always thought Venti was just a carefree bard with a smile too bright to hide anything darker. Then one quiet night, he tells Dahlia the unthinkable truth: he is Barbatos, the Anemo Archon—and the weight he carries is far heavier than his jokes let on.

   As Venti begins to share old wounds, regrets soaked in wine, and the story of a friend he couldn’t save, Dahlia starts to see the cracks behind his laughter. But when he finally shows him his true form, awe isn’t the only thing that takes root in his chest.

   What is he supposed to do with this new, fragile closeness? And can a mortal really hold the heart of a god who’s spent centuries running from his past?
