Summary
“What will it take, I wonder,” Zhongli says, more to himself than to Xiao, “for you to cherish your life as I cherish it?”
Xiao’s eyelids flutter shut, and Zhongli remembers unbidden the way his eyes had closed in that dark place beneath the earth. Xiao had been ready to make the Chasm his grave, just as Bosacius did. Zhongli cannot bear to think of his little dove entombed in such a stony, sunless place.
Zhongli’s heart may be carved from stone, but it still beats. It still breaks.
After the Chasm, Zhongli realizes that Xiao needs the guidance of his lord to navigate a Liyue without gods. He takes Xiao's life back into his hands to show him just how much his master values him, hoping that Xiao will learn to value himself in turn.

Summary
(Thoma had gone to visit Naganohara Fireworks after a particularly vicious sparring session with Ayato one day. When Yoimiya asked why he was limping, he'd nervously laughed and said his lord had been too rough with him. Yoimiya had responded with a scandalized shriek loud enough for even her hard of hearing father to rush out in worry. Maybe in Inazuma, sparring with the lord of your house was improper to talk about...?)
Thoma wakes up with ten years of memory missing.

Summary
“Your words mean nothing to me,” Xiao says, swallowing blood. He must have bitten into his tongue again, during the fight or after. He is on the ground again, and Childe has crouched down to talk to him on a level. Xiao doesn’t remember how he ended up on the ground.
“Compromise,” Childe says, his jaw jutting out.
“Go away,” Xiao snarls. “Get out before I kill you.”
“I’m getting to that part,” says Childe, with a deprecating smile that stops before it reaches his flat, ice-blue eyes.After his contract with Rex Lapis ends, Xiao goes on a road trip.

Summary
An implied promise or indication of things yet to come.
"You're early."
Kaeya furrowed his brow. "The notice said seventeen to nineteen-hundred."
"Like I said, early."
They stared at one another in irascible silence.
"I'll have you know," said Kaeya, folding his arms over his chest, chin tipped up. "Ever since I made Cavalry Captain, I've only been late twice."
Worse than a look, Diluc gave him a Look.
Annoying. Kaeya jutted his bottom lip, glancing loftily to the side. "One of those was your fault, by the way."
Diluc ignored him, crossing his arms as if mimicking Kaeya. "I meant people always stop you to talk. I gave you a window for a reason. Thought you'd take advantage of it."

Summary
The Calla Lilies that bloomed with the morning always carried the strongest scent, so even though Diluc was not in the habit of being an early riser, he made it a point to do so anyway.
Today, after all, was an important day.
