Nervously typing a message on her phone, Reese reread her message before sending it. "Hey, (Name), are you okay? You haven't been attending the classes we're in together, and no one's seen you for the past week; I already asked the teachers and asked your other friends if they've seen you, but you just disappeared into thin air... Where are you? I'm getting worried...' Swallowing a lump in her throat, Reese eagerly waited for a reply, her eyes wide open.

Seconds turned to minutes. Minutes turned to hours, yet, there was no reply or sign of (Name) being online. Sighing in frustration, Reese yawned as she looked at the time. "It's already 8:00 pm, and I haven't eaten yet..." She mumbled, her stomach rumbling. "...No! I mustn't eat; If (Name) answers, I need to reply immediately..." As more time passed, Reese became tired and restless. "She's not going to answer, isn't she?..." Doubt coursing her mind, Reese turned off her phone and started walking to the kitchen.
'She will reply! I can't give up just yet!'

"Ah, well, there's no use for that anymore. We've got what we've come for. We don't need to spend more time in this world." Lucifer stated, turning to (Name). "Don't be so full of yourself to think that you'll go out of this without consequences; We'll make sure that you'll be thoroughly punished so you won't attempt such an act again," Her blood running cold, (Name)'s/s' face paled as she swallowed a lump in her throat.
"Can't we just do it now?" Mammon blurted out. "I would agree with you, but there's no way in hell I'm dirtying my hair or outfit!" Asmodeus argued, causing Lucifer to sigh.
"Let's just-" Getting cut off by an arrow piercing his shoulder. Wincing, he looked at his injured shoulder before looking in the direction where the arrow came. Lucifer was greeted by the sight of a male with long dark blue hair fading to turquoise tied into two braids in the air. Swiftly landing on the ground, he saw (Name) and summoned a wind current to get her, only to get attacked from behind.
As they engaged in battle, (Name) and Paimon looked at each other before they immediately started running. Noticing that (Name) was running away, Solomon was about to cast a spell but failed when he got flung into the air.
'All the vision users we've met so far...' Realizing something, (Name) immediately looked over to Paimon. "Are the people obsessed with me the ones we've met in quests?" Paimon nodding, an idea popped into the girl's head.
'If I even set a foot in Liyue, I'm already risking my safety; Adeptus are everywhere and I know god damn well that they won't fall for a stupid disguise; Other than that, there are people that work for Ningguang almost everywhere in Liyue...' Clicking her tongue, she clenched her fists in frustration. "Let's just camp in a domain again. While we're there, we need to make use of our time and plan our next move."

"What have you called me for, Venti? You're smart enough to know I have something better to do." Zhongli queried, impatience laced in his tone. "Your impatient tone is something new," Venti pointed out, chuckling.
"I have a proposal that'll be worth your time-" He started, boring Zhongli. "As I said in my previous statement, I don't have time to waste on your shenanigans." Interrupting Venti, Zhongli sipped his tea. "It regards (Name)," Catching Zhongli's interest, he set down his cup of tea. "Continue." Smiling, the bard then parted his lips.
"To put it simply, I propose we should share (Name)." Venti proposed. "What makes you think I'm interested?" "There are others who are after (Name) who aren't from Teyvat." Raising a brow, Zhongli looked at (Name) in disbelief.
"I'm afraid that isn't possible. Although (Name) isn't from this world herself, I'm quite sure that no one else from her world can go here." He stated. "They're from a different game using the same kind of magic we used." Maintaining eye contact with Venti, he sighed.
"I'll play my part in this agreement, but-" "Let's form a contract, Zhongli." Clenching his fists in irritation, Venti smirked in amusement at Zhongli's current form. "You can't fool me, Morax." Venti knew what Zhongli was trying to do, after all, the (ex) God of Contracts can't break a contract, right?
