Razor looks at his hands being led by Bennett carefully. He gets a sick yet soothing feeling in his stomach from Bennett being so close to him. That same 'tingly' feeling again. He makes the hand with the fork move over the Hash Brown, then stabs it in. For the other hand, he starts making a movement going back and forward. A piece of the Hash Brown breaks off.

''Good job, Razor! You did it!'' ''Now pull it to your mouth and eat it!'' Razor does so. The experience is the same as last time. Bennett sits down on his own chair again. ''I like teaching you the things I already know!'' A short silence falls. ''You should totally teach me how to hunt and fish sometime!'' He smiles at Razor. ''I would like that.'' He says, faintly smiling back.

Bennett stands up and looks outside of the filthy window. The sky has turned into a faint blue already. ''Do you wanna go on the very top of the Headquarters?! I'm sure my dads will let me in if I ask them nice enough!'' Without hesitation, Razor says ''Sure, Razor would like that.'' ''Cool! Then let's go!''

After Bennett had finally convinced the people at the Headquarters after some failed attempts, he ran up the stairs to the very top with stomping steps, followed by the hurrying Razor. Once they finally reach the top, Bennett opens the door to the outside world and dramatically throws his hands out and says, out of breath: ''Welcome to Mondstadt!'' He turns his head back to Razor, while still holding the same pose. A big smile appears on his face that quickly turns into a laugh.

Razor looks down. A hundred little lights dance around his sight. He looks to the right, where he sees communicating guards. Then to the left. There are partying people at Angel's Share, praying people at the Statue Of Barbatos, and the shiny cathedral, that looks even prettier at night. He thinks about what to say. What's that word that Lisa taught him again... That word to describe something nice, something... something pretty! That's the word. ''Pretty, very.'' he says.

Bennett sits down, looking at the starry night. When Razor accompanies him, Bennett gently puts his head on Razor's shoulder. There it is again, that sick and sweet feeling. That tingly feeling. Bennett then starts telling him even more adventures. And they sit like that for hours on end.
