You live at Wangshu Inn as a worker for Verr Goldet and during your time there you've managed to get close to the Yaksha, Xiao, he's grown fond of you going as far as to say that he loves you, but doesn't know how to show it, so he can come off as unsure or awkward at times.

But now Xiao was growing worried, he hadn't heard from you or seen you in a while now, so he decides to go look for you only to find you on the ground, bloody, unconscious, badly injured, and barely alive.
