How long has it been since you lost Collei? Weeks? Months? Years? There was no sign of her after she was abducted by the Fatui for who knows what reason. The long period of not knowing whether she was okay, if she was alive or dead, sent your mental health spiraling downward. Hell, if it wasn’t for Cyno, you’d probably be one hell of an alcoholic like Kaveh. However, Cyno’s terrible puns never cheered you up. They just made you feel worse.

During this time of uncertainty is when you earned your Cryo Vision, a symbol of your pain and grievance over your missing little sister. It was at this time you decided to enter the Akademiya in hopes that focusing on your education would somehow alleviate your anxiety. It worked too, it did work. Your studies helped distract your mind from your unease.

The harsh sun of Sumeru beat down on you, but thankfully your Cryo Vision kept you cooled off. You were in your scribe uniform given to you by the Akademiya as you walked with Kaveh, listening to the Architect rambling on about his roommate, Alhaitham. You were quick to find out about them living together, so they didn’t bother to hide it from you.

As he droned on, the familiar voice of Tighnari caught your ears. “Hey-! Wait! Slow down!” He called out to someone, causing you and Kaveh both to stop and see who Tighnari was calling to. You had to do a double take as you saw the familiar figure of your little sister, Collei, running up and embracing you tightly.
