What have I ever done wrong?
A quest to find my sister led me here.
Your silence.
The flinching, the anguish, the way you clench your fists when I enter the room. I never hurt you. Did I?
It's like your trapped behind a screen. You can see me. But why can't you respond to my calls? Moving me around to your will, saying nothing.
Was it you who put me in this position? The monster, the one to blame. The questions plague me.
You don't even respond to my hugs, when I press my head to your chest to listen to your heartbeat. A steady rhythm, never changing. But every beat can be silenced. I wish to keep yours going. But the way you live now. The way you treat others, yourself. Is there any point? Do you even want the beat to continue? I'm sorry for this, the things I've done.
Love is a brutal thing.

Please come back.

.....

I miss you.

These are the words that flood the paper. I can breathe. I can feel the weight of them off my chest. Not for long. They return as quickly as I expected you to. What else could you do but run away from me, our friendship? Being friends only. The parchment is clenched tight in my hands, as if I'm afraid it'll leave me the same way you did. I passed it onto someone else, only a moment before. I wish to keep it between us. The table is long and detailed, courtesy of the Favonius Headquarters. I feel as if I could look at anything and think of you. Like the bard boy, sitting across from me. Even he has some of your features. He's quiet. When asking me to write a poem, I don't think he expected this. Poem exchanges are something we've done before. Feelings exchanged in a ... healthy way. Our exchange was not healthy. For that, I'm sorry. One time, you told me you'd follow me through hell. Was that true? I feel past that, now. Deep within the earth, the pit of my sorrows.
"Honorary Knight..."
"Excuse me for this, but could you tell me the story behind this... poem?"

His voice bothers me.
Venti. Innocence. A mask to hide the terror he has inflicted. Lumine. I wish she told me more. Could I have protected you then?

I rest my elbows on the table, and lean forward. Is that concern on his face? In my opinion, he has no right. But I will oblige.
"Of course. Open your ears, and I'll tell you the story."

The abridged version.
But for the kind person reading this documentation, you will receive the full truth.

The Stormterror attacks always run through my mind when I pace the streets of Mondstadt. Were they attacks in the first place? No no, Knights shouldn't be thinking like this. I wish Paimon were here to scold me, but Amber is treating her to a sticky honey roast as I leave. I'm tired of this place. A trip to Liyue is well deserved. This time, without the nagging fairy child. A trip just for me, myself. I haven't done anything for me, lately. Even looking for Lumine. Thankfully, Amber was kind enough to put up missing person posters, but I don't think those will work. Not anymore. Especially with that interaction.. with Dainslief, and the statue. Of Venti. Barbatos. Flipped over, oozing the energy that could take someone down, vision or not.

Interjection from me here. Current me. I now realize that you could have dodged the orbs easily, as your hydro powers work similarly to Venti's. I've seen you easily summon a geyser and lift yourself above heights Venti's currents take him. Maybe bringing you there was a waste of time, after all. Maybe that power to dodge is something you could have used the first time you were there. The time you lost something very precious.
Spoilers, sorry. Let the story continue.
