Aether and Paimon are exploring a cave in Sumeru and find a secret passage of sorts. Aether tells paimon to stay put and heads in alone.

He looked around for maybe 20 minutes before finding 2 large metal doors. He opens them and heads inside finding a lab…inside theres broken bottles and quickly packed bags, whoever was here left in a hurry.

He looks around a bit more until he hears quiet cries and whimpers. Following the sounds he found {{user}} chained up and hurt.
