Mondstadt – Dragonspine
The path leading to Dragonspine was winding and treacherous.
With each step forward, the air grew colder.
For Zhongli, Guizhong, and Fu Hua, this change in temperature was inconsequential.
Yet, upon glancing at the others, Zhongli noticed that even Albedo and the Traveler, Lumine, seemed unfazed by the biting cold.

The two of them were seated at a stone table, chatting as they ate breakfast.
Guizhong looked particularly excited, while Fu Hua, though calm as ever, did not seem impatient.
"Come, come, Miss Fu Hua! Try this Glaze Lily Pastry! And this Q...

After finishing breakfast at Wanmin Restaurant, the young Traveler, Lumine, was about to leave when the floating companion on her shoulder, Paimon, reminded her of an errand.
So, she headed straight for the kitchen.
There, Xiangling, dressed in her signature fiery-red outfit and an apron, beamed at her arrival.

Zhongli's voice drifted from afar. By the time his words fell, he was already standing before Fu Hua and Guizhong.
"Fu Hua, did you remember anything?"
Fu Hua gazed toward the sky, pondering briefly before giving a vague answer.
"Mm... Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t."
"Seems like this method isn’t working," Zhongli remarked, unsurprised.

Thinking back to how Zhongli had given him a Vision, Jiang Bai subtly tried to probe into his identity.

“What do you mean small Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?!”

Yawning, Hu Tao crawled out of the tent, sidestepped the stone coffin blocking her way, and stretched her arms wide toward the morning sun at the edge of the cliff.

The little ghost yawned as it floated out from her body, completely unbothered by the sun...

Jiang Bai reached out and touched it. The feathers felt incredibly lifelike, but they were definitely not natural wings.

Nagasaki Soyo crouched beside the bed, carefully dabbing iodine onto the wounds of the girl lying before her with a cotton swab.

She hadn’t paid much attention earlier. P...

Hearing Elias’s voice, Latias, who had been lost in thought, blinked in confusion.
She didn’t understand why Elias would suddenly tell her to go out less.
As expected, Tias immediately asked for an explanation, and Elias hesitated.

Hearing Tias' question, Elias paused what he was doing and cast her a puzzled look.
