Today, Foa was tasked by doctor Baizhu to go to the borders of Liyue and Monstat, alone. The trip would take a few days. Qiqi incessantly complained but the doctor wished that the young lady could go out and experience the world of Teyvat for herself.

"Qiqi... Qiqi..... " The poor child silently wept as she desperately clung onto the gems of Foa's sleeves.

" Shhhh. " Foa consoled her. " I promise I will come back. "

Baizhu only heaved a small sign, unfazed. This had happened far to many times now. He didn't understand why Qiqi would go so far for a stranger, but now that Foa was part of the family now, he too couldn't help but worry. He just didn't show it.

It was a necessary evil, as much as he wanted for the hike to stay with Qiqi forever.

She needed to face the world by herself.

Foa smiled. This much is nothing.

Water filled her lungs. Tears mixed with water. The cloth that binded her hands and feet together were stubborn, not budging an inch, no matter how much she struggled against them. As she sunk deeper, the light that could penetrate into the water and her heart became weaker and weaker and weaker... It was just her and the endless cruel blue around her.

It was then, she realized, that humans were not made to live within the water.

Yet...

I want to live...

Live...
