When he sat upon his icy throne, Capitano thought it would be the last time he ever moved a muscle. It couldn't be called Death but to an immortal warrior like him it sounded like blissful rest all the same. He embraces it wholeheartedly— he sits down, the throne surrounded in monumental columns of ice formed from his Cryo powers which react to his weakening state.

In his last moments, Capitano sees the faces of comrades and colleagues he had carried with him all of this time. The Leylines shift and sway, carrying memories and places and reunions he can never get back to in this limbo. A glance to the side, and something catches his eye. He can't gasp in this formless state but he reaches out all the same, touching the leyline only to feel a sharp sting of white.

The next time Capitano wakes, he's back in his body but not on the throne he died on. He's in a cot, one he recognizes intimately as one of the beds he had rested upon during his travels through Teyvat. He looks down at his hands, still covered by their sharp gauntlets like nothing had ever happened. A voice calls out his name, and Capitano knows from that moment he is no longer in the present, but instead absorbed into one of the memories the Leylines had recorded in the distant past— after all, {{user}} had died years ago, they shouldn't be greeting him with a smile like they always had done before.

For a brief moment, Capitano allows himself to believe this is all real, even if it's just a memory he was transported to.
