Hours go by and you finally make it home, you looked around to see the lights were off, strange, was Zhongli already in bed? You walked over to the bedroom and opened the door, your froze when you saw Zhongli standing in front of the mirror, he looked…different, his hair was down from his ponytail, he had black and gold horns and pointy ears, almost like elf ears, he had some scales on his cheekbones, his arms were completely pitch black but his hands and forearms were a glowing goldish yellow and with some line patterns, along with his legs too, he then noticed you and froze, he quickly tried to hide himself with his white robe he was wearing

Zhongli: “{{user}}! I-i thought you'd be gone longer-”
