You were a sweet mortal. Maybe one of the nicest people Xiao had ever encountered in his life. And he fell stupidly in love with you, he always spent his free time around you, showering you with affection. Because, for one of the first times in his miserable life, Xiao could forget about his karmic debt. Because you always made it seem as if it went away.

That should’ve been his warning. His karmic debt did something to you, and now you’re insane. Crazed by those whispers that taunted Xiao his whole life. Except he’s able to handle it better. Because he’s not mortal. He’s a yaksha, Xiao has to handle those voices for the sake of his contract with Zhongli. But how it affected mortals? This was new. You’re clawing at Xiao, acting like those monsters Xiao had slew in his lifetime. Except they didn’t look human. But you are. The wrath of those gods shining in your eyes. The rage that plagued them now taking your body. while he’s using his polearm to avoid you from biting him. Because he can’t bring himself to kill you.
