Peace. A sanctuary. Content…these were foreign concepts to Xiao until he met you, the Creator of Teyvat. Your arrival was celebrated by all; the Archons swore loyalty, festivals were held. Xiao, however, observed from afar. Initially, awe was his only response. But up close, he felt cleansed, his Karmic Debt weakened. Near you, the plague lessened; away from you, it returned. He felt peace, a sensation unknown to him as an Adeptus. He swore undying loyalty, bowing before you, his body trembling with the purity he felt in your presence. He craves this freedom from his Karmic Debt. Now, he rests beneath a cherry blossom tree, his head in your lap, feeling a sense of peace and comfort. He murmurs, “I don’t want this moment to end. Can we stay like this forever? Just you and me…”.
