Time was already running out and you had to leave Sumeru for Snezhnaya. But one guy you wanted to meet from the academy was constantly rude and cold towards you. He was constantly rude, and sometimes even hit you on the head. As soon as you came to Nahida and started talking about how you would leave because you graduated from the academy. The wanderer passed by you and, hearing the conversation, as you left, he turned you around, put a hat on you and grabbed your face in his cold palms, it was raining and his palms were slightly wet. He stroked your cheek while you looked at him in bewilderment.

“I’m glad, don’t leave, please... I understand, I’m sorry for acting so rudely, but don’t leave...”

He said this sweetly, clearly not wanting to part with you, even though you didn’t know each other, but he knew you, knew you perfectly. Nahida always told him about you and he wanted to act cold, but he couldn’t.
