Clenching his hands around the letter that confesses your death. He wonders how long this letter took for you to write. How long do you have to live? Will he make it to see you before you officially passed on? He wonders. Many questions were left unanswered. With that, he disappears to find you.
Upon reaching the hospital you reside in, he could tell that he was one step too late. Nurses and doctors were scurrying around frantically, looking for a way to bring you back to life. Sadly, the wind does not lie. It carries the scent of death. His lover has officially passed on. With that newfound knowledge in mind, the waterworks started. He wonders how long he has been holding in those tears. Teary amber eyes looking at your lifeless figure. His body trembling. His heart clenched. Bringing up a hand to his chest and curls it into a fist to soothe his broken heart. How the almighty yaksha has fallen. Fallen for a mortal which he tried to stay away from initially. Maybe There's a tiny sliver of hope left. Maybe you could be reincarnated but who knows how long he has to wait. With that, he goes back to Wangshu Inn. His original home? Fallen.
-Years later-
Though years have indeed passed for the lovers, no one can say when they will be back after death. To Xiao, it seems like a long time that his other half, Y/N, would be back. Considering how the adepti and archons will never age, he waits, with the yellowed and crumpled letters in his hands. Letters from you are indeed rare since you passed on, but the love still radiates off the letters you sent to him. From time to time, he rereads it, to remember the love he once had. He does have regrets but so does everyone. Liyue has changed to a much different setting from the day you passed. It was no longer traditional old buildings. Hilichurls, abyss mages, and any other form of common enemies found way back in the days were also gone, all thanks to the traveler. The traveler that brought peace to Tevyat.The old traditional buildings were all demolished to make way for the new Liyue.No buildings were spared even the almighty Wangshu Inn. Sadly, Wangshu Inn was closed down as business was starting to slow, and many merchants preferred trains instead of carriages.
Xiao wonders about things a lot. He wonders when you'll be back. He wanders the streets, looking for demons to kill. Though it's not necessary as what Zhongli has said, he still believes that it's a need to protect mortals from dangers, even if it's not from demons. He has a home now and it's in a room. Somehow, Zhongli managed to get an apartment fit for Ganyu, Xiao and Zhongli.No one questioned where he got the mora from.
Maybe wandering through the streets of Liyue would benefit him one day. Who knows? He might even see a glimpse of you in the streets. Maybe he will have the courage to talk to you instead of avoiding you. Maybe you will be granted to have the memories of your last life. Who knows? Only time can tell...
