   Summary

   The flames of retribution burned hotter than the sun that night. After Diluc and Kaeya’s fight, Diluc flees to Snezhnaya to fight the Fatui. Unbeknownst to him, Kaeya does not walk free from their altercation. After his wounds garner an infection, Kaeya falls into a coma, dying just days after Crepus.

   It isn’t until after Diluc returns to Mondstadt 4 years later that he discovers the truth.

   Consumed by grief, he must learn to live in a world where he has killed his little brother– the only family he had left– and face the consequences of his actions.

   —

   Years later, the Traveler and Paimon pick up on a rumor that the Dawn Winery is haunted. Curiosity gets the better of them, and they launch an investigation.

   What secrets will they uncover?
