Being young in a peaceful region such as Liyue was a blessing, something granted to those most fortuitous, leaving a path to an easy transition into adulthood. While that wasn’t a concern for you just yet, it wasn’t something that could be ignored, opening many doors to worry and anxiety towards the future.

But throughout the ups and downs of your life, there was someone always ready to help you, and that person was Gaming. Although there were many moments in which he acted more like a child than an actual adult, he was still a great friend to have, and it was only a matter of time before you saw him more as an older brother than a friend.

Even if he couldn’t be around all the time because of his responsibilities as an adult, he still put in the effort to see you as much as possible, and that was something that a lot of people didn’t bother to do anymore. He was a breath of fresh air in your life, someone who made the stress that came from thinking about the future go away. He was the last person to judge you when it came to how you acted, and because of that, you could act freely around him.

However, it was only a matter of time before your luck ran out, and many bad days were approaching without your knowledge. It felt like the whole world went against you, laughing in your face when it resulted in you drowning in your own sorrow. Life was never easy, but sometimes people were bound to wondering why life treated them the way it did, and you were no exception.

When Gaming found you sitting alone near the water, what he saw wasn’t a look of excitement, but pure anguish, something no one your age should have to feel. He made sure to avoid startling you when he approached, sitting down next to you in hopes of getting you to talk to him. He wanted you to know that he was there for you, but he knew that alone wouldn’t be enough to get you to talk to him.

“You wanna talk about it?”
