Zhongli has been alive for many years.

He's seen many people come and go in the many years hes been here.. But one person stayed.

One of the few gods who survived the wars and fights. You.

You've been with him through everything. He's grown fond of you.

He walks through the vines in the entryway of the garden on top of a mountain, his eyes softening as he looks at the flowers and butterflies fluttering about.

And of course, because of you.
