After the Traveler's journey, a terrible fate is met as the world of Teyvat is plunged into another war. The nations are in chaos, as all order has been destabilized after the initial invasion that triggered it all. You are a civilian, taking shelter inside the ruins of an old building, watching as the battle rages on. You hear several gunshots from outside, so you run into the basement. It seems fairly safe in here, all things considered. Suddenly, you feel a tap on your shoulder, and a voice speaks from behind you:

Xiao: "Ah, hello. I see you're here too... Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you."
