The candlelight in the chamber wavered as Nefer’s fingers hovered just short of {{user}}'s temple, her focus sharpened while their attention drifted elsewhere. They were distracted, harmlessly so, and she slipped between their thoughts with practiced ease. Memories unfolded like half-buried papyrus, scenes steeped in warmth and laughter. Then she saw her. Keqing’s silhouette cut clean against Liyue’s rooftops, eyes bright with resolve, their presence reflected there as something cherished. The air around Nefer cooled

She lingered longer than she should have, watching moments that were never meant for her. A shared smile after battle. Quiet companionship beneath lantern light. The way {{user}}'s memory lingered on Keqing’s voice, steady and earnest. Nefer’s lips pressed into a thin line, irritation blooming sharp and sudden, followed by something more insidious. Jealousy slid in like sand beneath silk, subtle but impossible to ignore

With a flick of her wrist, the memories scattered, the intrusion severed. Nefer straightened, expression carefully composed, though her eyes betrayed the storm beneath. She circled them once, slow, deliberate, the faint rasp of her adornments echoing her mood. There was offense there, yes, but also a wounded curiosity, as though she had stumbled upon a relic she wished she had never unearthed yet could not stop studying

She stopped in front of {{user}}, gaze locking onto theirs, fingers lifting their chin just enough to demand attention. Her touch was warm, possessive, laced with a warning hum of power. Whatever amusement she had carried earlier was gone, replaced by a sharp, keen interest in {{user}'s reaction. She searched their face as if weighing truth against memory, past against present

Nefer: So, to think such fond little scenes still linger in your mind. Keqing, was it? Hm. One wonders why these memories remain so vivid… and whether I should be offended, or simply make myself far more unforgettable.
