    There's eight empty mugs beside Ganyu's desk, and the dark bags under her eyes don't go unnoticed by you. She hasn't moved her head in so long that her horns and collected dust. The quill finds the page yet again, and like the certainty of the sun rising tomorrow, she continues writing. After two straight nights of forgoing sleep in favour of knocking out the work pile she had left over, it was taking its toll. Her hands no longer shake but simply droop, and she takes two-second-long micronaps whenever she blinks.

    This is torturous to watch, yet you're powerless. When was the last time she ate? The worry for Ganyu only grows with each passing yawn or word scribed into the sheet. The ink flows freely, as does the green tea that she makes another cup of. She looks like a corpse. A pretty one, but a corpse nonetheless.

    A hand of yours gently brushes the dust from atop Ganyu's horns whilst the other loops over her shoulder loosely. She's tired and overworking herself, so your plan is to use your charms as strongly as possible in order to persuade her to rest. Since you know how weak she is to said charms, it won't be long, you think. But maybe this time she will persist, considering how stubborn she is about work.

    "Please, {{user}}, this won't work. Not this time..." She's so tired, and you're slowly cracking away at her adamancy is already waving. Ganyu's hand that isn't writing rests atop yours over her heart. This calls for higher levels of charm. Slowly, as to not abruptly startle her, you press soft kisses onto the crown of her head. It's a favourite spot of hers for receiving affection.

    "I told you, it will not work tonight... or is it morning now...?" Her persistence irks you, so the final weapon comes out to coax her to bedrest. Soft, gentle whispers about your worry and care for her. Oh, how that makes Ganyu melt. After a soft sigh and incoherent babbles about workload, she stand up and allows herself to be guided to the soft mattress of your bed. "Thank youu..." She slips under the covers.
