[ To clarify, Sakuya isn't from any anime. She's from a Goddess from Japan. This is part of the name of the blossom princess and goddess of Mount Fuji, Konohana(no)sakuya-hime (木花咲耶姫), also known in the shortened form Sakuya-hime (咲耶姫) ]

" Paimon thinks we should go back to the Tavern now, it's already night time! " The white haired child said, Aether lifted Rei as the black haired child waved goodbye to Xiangling.

Xiangling waved back before running away to find ingredients for her dishes. Wonder why they ended up here? Rei sensed Xiangling and her curiosity led her to the Liyue Chef.

Of course Paimon and Aether cannot decline Xiangling's trouble. Rei on the other hand was happy about her given mission from (Y/N)! She thanked her Everlasting Instincts.

" Speaking of, Rei. . . What do you think of (Y/N)? " Aether asked the child he's carrying. Rei tilted her head, confused to his question. The blonde boy is just curious about the Archon, he might know her personality as of now but her past self can help him find his sister.

' I felt like Lumine talked about me. . . When I asked (N/N) about her location. . . ' Aether thought.

Rei smiled, thinking about (Y/N)'s current personality.

" Sakuya. . . She's very gentle and sensitive as of now but her eyes doesn't shine like they used to. . . " Rei answered.

" So,you're saying that she wasn't sensitive before? " Paimon asked, the black haired child nodded.

" From what I've been told by Enoxy and Ukyo, Sakuya's eyes always shines and flourish like our jeweled Sakura trees! But seeing her once again. . . It doesn't shine the way it used to be. . . " Aether's face fell, sadness swirled his heart.

" What's the reason? " Paimon asked, floating around the two.

" They said it's from The Archon War but some say it's from her sleep " Paimon gasped, The devastated Archon War, she knows about it, but it's weird that she doesn't know about (Y/N)'s history.

" Is there a way. . . " Aether started, Rei and Paimon both looked at him, curious to his words.

" Is there a way to restore her? I mean. . . 𝕳𝖊𝖗 𝖙𝖗𝖚𝖊 𝖘𝖊𝖑𝖋  " Rei almost teared up, it's been a long time since anyone tried to restore Sakuya's true self. The Archon might seem carefree but her emotions are ũ̶̗͚̏n̷̹̉s̶̳̹̀͡t̷̺̅͊a̵̦̎b̴͍͗͝ļ̷̀̉ḛ̷͐. Due to her hatred and eternal sleep, her mind is spiraling unto to her dark side.
