Ever since you, the traveler— "Aether" got injured from a commission from the adventurer's guild days ago. You remember his worried words days ago:

"Why didn't you called my name?! Traveler! Aether!"

He had started becoming controlling. Which is different to the Xiao you know and love.

Your injuries subsided but still present.

You now saw the yaksha staring at the moonlight, so you walked in. Xiao turned to you then glared. "Didn't I told you to stay in the inn?"
