Watching the sunset, (Name) sighed. "This people in this world's pretty messed up, but I can enjoy this at least," She chuckled, the smile on her face soon dropping. 'I wonder how Reese is doing... I wasn't able to hang out with her...'
Averting her gaze from the sunset, she looked at the white-haired pixie sleeping on her lap. "I really do hope that we'll escape this shithole together, Paimon." (Name) mumbled, playing with a few strands of her hair.
'We really have to leave in the morning; we're lucky enough that we haven't stumbled across trouble yet...' She thought, crossing her arms as she thought about what Dainsleif said. At that moment, she felt her heart stop and a chill going down her spine.
'How the fuck did he know how I plan to leave?' Hanging her head low, her throat was left dry as her mind was blank. 'There's no way he actually knew from the start. I mean, none of the characters knew before some kinda glitch made them act this way.' Biting her lip, an uneasy feeling started welling up in her stomach.
"Fuck," (Name) cursed, running a hand through her hair. "What am I going to do now?..."

Overlooking the multiple Fatui agents kneeling before her, the woman stepped forward and issued an order. "Bring me a girl with (hair length) (hair color)-hair, (eye color) eyes, and a floating little pet with white hair." She spoke.
The order she issued seemed simple. However, it was easier said than done. "Yes, ma'am-" A Fatui Agent cut himself off, feeling his other comrades turn their heads towards him with worried expressions.
At first, confusion was the only thing he felt, but he realized what he had done. Nervously lifting his head, he met the irritate gaze of the harbinger. "I ap-" "When have I given you permission to speak?" Signora queried, her tone sharper and colder than before.
"Such distaste," She spat, grimacing at the agent as she walked even closer. "AUGH!" The agent coughed, his blood painting the floor red. Audible gasps could be heard from his comrades as they watched his body collapse on the floor.
Sighing, the harbinger went back to her original spot and observed the expressions of the other agents. Some were horrified, some were shocked, while some tried to ignore him. "Eliminate any of those who get in the way. Be it your comrades, family, or a lover." Now that was unexpected.
The agents were left in shock; even those who worked for Signora a long time never witnessed her doing this much for some girl they'd never even met or heard of. As some agents disappeared, an electro cicin mage left uneasy. "What the fuck?!" She muttered, slightly shaking. Clenching her fists, she eventually forced herself to do the order. Was joining the fatui a mistake she failed to acknowledge?

"Hey, (Name), are you okay?" Paimon asked. "Yep," She answered. "Are you sure? You look exhausted-" "Paimon, I'm a sleep-deprived college student who lives on instant noodles and lives in a crappy apartment who sleeps at 3. Of course I'm okay," (Name) stated with a nonchalant tone before chuckling at Paimon's confused expression.
"Wait," (Name) stopped in her tracks, grabbing Paimon's wrist and putting a finger over her lips. (Name) crouched and looked around. "What the-- GAH!" Getting lifted from her position, (Name) panicked.
"What the fuck?!" She screamed out, trying to free herself from whatever was holding her up. "Shush, child! Tsk, such language will bring you nowhere. If you keep struggling, the clothing I'm holding onto is going to rip." Furrowing her eyebrows, (Name) was about to act up, but Cloud Retainer was correct.
(Name) had no idea if she'd spawn at a waypoint or actually die, so she decided to stay quiet. Seeing a flash of green pass her eyes, (Name) raised a brow before hearing a cry and something pierce the air.
Feeling the adepti let go of her hoodie, (Name)'s/s' eyes widened. 'I'm actually going to die this time.' She thought before feeling someone's arms around her waist. Confused, (Name) looked behind her to see the face of a green-haired yaksha.
"Xiao?! I thought you worked for Zhongli-" "An adepti of high status such as Cloud Retainer would've dodged my spear with ease. That is a regular crane with strength enhanced by magic and was given an appearance similar to her." Xiao stated, his expression never changing.
"I...uh... I appreciate that you saved me and all, but can you let me go?" (Name) started to grow nervous as she felt Xiao's grip tighten. "Err..." Biting her lip, (Name) looked down before gulping. 'There's water below me, but I'm too high up to risk falling...' That's when the seriousness of her situation sunk in.
'Oh fuck, I'm getting taken away this easily?!' Averting her gaze to Xiao, panic started filling her mind as she nervously looked around. 'Fuck. He's bringing me to Zhongli, isn't he?!' The thought of it horrifying her.
Struggling once again, (Name) took note of Xiao's irritation as his eyebrows furrowed. "Are mortals from your world stupid? You'll die if you keep squirming." He grumbled. "Go fuck yourself," (Name) snarled, squirming even more.

"Boss, boss!" A man panted, stumbling inside the tent. "What?" He asked, taking note of the man that run of the tent seemed in a hurry. "The Liyue Qixing is paying a high sum of mora to whoever finds this girl first," Immediately catching the attention of his boss, he raised a brow.
"How much?" The boss queried. "10,000,000,000,000 mora."
