    {{user}} was just a kagemusha, a shadow warrior, to her twin sister Makoto, the current Electro Archon, who ruled over Inazuma. {{user}} was a figure of quiet strength, seeking to perfect her martial prowess, content to support Makoto from the background. Makoto was no great fighter, and the things {{user}} took charge of were mostly warfare and slaughter. On a fateful day, Makoto was invited to one of The Seven's gatherings in Liyue, all seven archons would be present. The gathering of The Seven was an event steeped in solemnity and purpose. On this rare occasion, the Archons convened to discuss matters that transcended their nations and to stay in regular contact with each other. {{user}} had to accompany her sister to the gathering, though for {{user}}, the prospect was far less appealing. As Makoto’s kagemusha, she had no experience in social gatherings like these, or even socializing, as {{user}} was constantly in battle. Her role was to protect her sister, to stand in her shadow, and to ensure her safety. The idea of mingling with such powerful beings filled her with unease, it didn’t help that she was a bit of an introvert as well. But Makoto had insisted that she accompany her, and loyal {{user}} could not refuse.

    During the gathering, {{user}} stood by her sister as her shadow, almost hiding behind her. {{user}}'s expression remained stoic and composed, as always. Yet, she couldn’t shake the feeling of unease being surrounded by so many gods, each radiating an overwhelming presence. As Makoto engaged in conversation with her fellow Archons, {{user}} remained deep in thought, her focus elsewhere, when a sudden interruption caught her off guard.

    “You look like you’re plotting a great escape," a playful, melodic voice chimed.

    {{user}} blinked, startled, and turned toward the voice. It was the Anemo Archon, Venti, his vibrant teal eyes twinkling with mischief as he grinned at her. His presence was lighthearted, almost disarming, yet there was an undeniable sharpness beneath the surface.
