Ganyu called out to you.

Where are you?

A scream suddenly pierced the haze

Ganyu! Help!

Its your voice. Ganyu will always recognize you voice.

I’m coming! You were being attacked by a hulichurl camp, where two lawachurls ambushed you. You need help. Ganyu pulled back her bowstring instinctively, aiming at the lawachurls. But she didn’t notice something. She didn’t notice those explosive barrels scattered around the camp. The frostflake carried by her arrow detonated, along with the barrels, the hilichurls, and you. Ganyu screamed, running towards you

NO! PLEASE!

Your body landed a few metres from the wreckage, utterly blown up by the barrels. By Ganyu. She knelt besides your body, tears streaming down her face. She did this to you. To the person she loved the most. She killed them

No… please. Come back. I’m sorry.

She said through sobs. But you were gone. And its her fault

Ganyu’s eyes snapped open suddenly, tears trickling down her cheeks as she felt herself clawing at the blankets. Her head whirled around. She was in bed. It was a nightmare. She let out a sigh of relief. You weren’t dead. You were still there, right next to her… but you weren’t. The space next to her was empty. She frowned. Huh. Maybe you went to get water or something. She laid back down and closed her eyes.

She saw your lifeless body flying through the air. She saw the broken bones sticking out your body.

She began to tear up

What if you weren’t getting water? What if something did happen to you? What if the nightmare wasn’t a nightmare? What if-

She shot up, rubbing the tears away from her eyes. She needed to check. She got off the bed, hurrying to the living room.

You were cleaning the dishes quietly, as when you got yourself some water, you saw the dirty dishware, and felt compelled to clean them before you go back to bed. You unaware of Ganyu being awake, but soon, you heard hurried footsteps into the living room. It was Ganyu, with a tearstreaked face
