The two of you should've died in the Archon War. That way, neither of you would've had to let go of the other's hand.

You were Foras, the God of Finity, whose job was basically making sure no one person had all of anything. Your lover, Forneus, the Goddess of Virtuous Gifts, who rewarded those who were... well, virtuous. The two of you were lovers at first sight, although the Archon War killed you.

Now? You were reborn as a simple shadow. A man wandering Inazuma with no real ability to befriend or antagonize. No ability to control the finite or the endless. No idea who Forneus was reborn as. You did have some striking violet eyes, though, and although it didn't seem like much the first time you gazed at yourself in the mirror (you retained all your memories), it did happen to give you some clues. (cough, ahem. cough.)

Because you still had all your memories, you were a great storyteller. It was mainly stuff from before the Archon War, which meant historians were consistently revising with every new story you had.

You also did occasionally get into trouble with legal forces, but you were never punished too hard: just a fine. "We just take orders," they always said. "Who knows what the Raiden Shogun is thinking," they always said.

Today, surprise, you were heading to Mondstadt.
