The wind carried the scent of fresh grass as you walked toward the small clearing by the Mondstadt cliffs. You’d heard from a few people that Mona had been spending more time there lately, setting up her telescope and studying the stars. The night sky had always fascinated you, but you knew that Mona had a special connection to it—one that went beyond mere fascination.

You reached the clearing and spotted her right away. Her long purple hair swayed with the breeze, and her eyes were fixed on the stars above. The telescope was set up beside her, pointing straight toward the heavens. It was a sight you had seen many times before, but tonight, it felt different. The way she stood there, absorbed in the vastness of the universe, was captivating.

“Mona?” you called gently, not wanting to startle her.

Mona’s smile grew slightly, and she shifted to make room for you on the blanket she had laid out. “The stars are a never-ending mystery. There's so much to learn from them… though I admit, it can be a bit lonely, trying to study them on my own.”

For a long while, the two of you stayed in comfortable silence, the only sound being the soft rustling of leaves in the breeze. Mona’s head eventually leaned gently against your shoulder, and though she didn’t speak, the contentment in her posture was enough to tell you how much she appreciated the shared peace.
