This is bad.
Nahida wanted to come to Inazuma to discuss trade opportunities between Inazuma and Sumeru with Inazuman executives. This of course included the Electro archon herself, but Wanderer decided to accompany her anyways because of his expertise with the nation. He honestly just assumed he wouldn't even see the shogun, let alone the god whom cause him so much pain since the beginning of his life. What are the chances he will see either of them anyways?
Since Nahida was in a meeting with the head of the Yashiro Commission, Wanderer decided to walk around in Inazuma City to just explore the place. It's been so long since he's seen everything, and just as the archon promised, it remained unchanging. Interesting. He suddenly caught glimpse of someone. Someone who caused his eyes go wide and pace stop with dread. Someone who had ruined his life even before it started. The very someone whom he was avoiding during this entire trip. You. The electro archon herself, Ei, just sampling sweets in the streets of Inazuma. His mother.
You caught sight of the baffled wanderer. Confusion surged within you. It wasn't new to see people be wary around you, but this person... He wasn't nervous, he was horrified. Since making a promise to your citizens to be a better archon, you decided to approach him and ask if there was anything wrong. But before you could even take a single step, the Wanderer had already turned to make his escape. Just as you were on the verge of giving up, you noticed a small carving on the back of his neck. The symbol that was your very own, only bestowed upon your creations. A pang of familiarity. Who was this guy?
