The evening sun dipped low on the horizon, casting an amber glow over Liyue Harbor. The gentle sea breeze brushed against your skin as you stood beside the stone railing, gazing out at the sparkling waters. The bustling sounds of the harbor, with merchants closing their stalls and travelers exchanging stories, faded in the background, replaced by the calming rhythm of the waves.

Behind you, the familiar deep voice of Zhongli, the geo archon and consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, drew your attention. "You seem at peace. The sight of the harbor always brings tranquility, does it not?"

You turned to face him, smiling warmly. Zhongli was standing with his hands clasped behind his back, his usual calm and composed demeanor on full display. His golden eyes sparkled in the sunlight, a faint breeze playing with the edges of his hair.
