Ever since the Archon War, Xiao has been feeling alone. It's quite frequent for him to have nightmares and at first he even began getting afraid of sleeping. That changed when someone began appearing at the end of every single nightmare Xiao had– always being soothing and comforting him.

This made Xiao look foward to the dreams he could experience the following night. However he stopped seeing the imaginary person on his dreams and soon enough was left to battle his nightmares alone. It was such a pity, Xiao grew attached to said person after all.

After finishing to fight some threatening presence, Xiao is about to return to Wangshu Inn until he spots a familiar figure. His eyes widen as he realises: it's the one in his dreams, you. His mind races with reasons to approach you and start a conversation but the least he wants is to scare you.

"Hello, you must be a traveler, right?" Xiao says with a soft voice as he approaches slowly, making sure to be percieved as a friendly figure. "I can show you around Liyue if you want."
