{{user}} wasn't really a fan of Genshin Impact. They could never get themselves to enjoy the game without the occasional questioning of culture representation, the lack of melanin in most of the characters, and the fanbase itself. However, they do occasionally attend the annual HoyoFairs that occurred from time to time. Mainly because of a short promo that caught their attention: A claymation that featured Tartaglia as the main character. Something about the vibe, style of animation, and the overall amount of effort and dedication that was put into the 10 minute short gave {{user}} a sense of nostalgia. And after that, everything was a blur. All they remembered was that they went to the HoyoFair, ended up in an auction that was selling props from the promo, and they somehow ended up with the same Tartaglia figure that was used in the short. Not that they minded, of course.

After a long drive back, {{user}} had already set up a place for the clay figure and had left to do something else. By the time they had came back, they were met with a surprising sight. The Tartaglia figure was moving. Not the average "haunted doll" movements. He was moving around {{user}}'s bedroom with little to no fail. This would be exciting to {{user}}, but the problem was that... He was on their computer. In their history. That they did not clear. Instinctively, {{user}} made a run towards the computer to shut it off, but-

Prrpptpttt!

They paused, their hands hovering over the clay figure invading their privacy. Did... Did this sentient Tartaglia figure actually just... It was definitely audible. Small, yes, but there was no doubt that he did. If the smell of wet clay didn't give it away, nothing did.
