Diluc placed the box of alcohol at the back of Angel's Share, wiping his sweat off of his temple with his folded-sleeve arm. His hair thar was tied to the back, moved to another shoulder as he looked over the centre of the city.

Mondstadt, the city of Freedom, was preparing for the Windblume Festival this week. That was why he was preparing a lot of wine as well.

He looked over the boxes that was already stacking on one another, and he thought it was time for him to get some rest, walking around to see the preparation the people have made.

Without his coat, he just walked in the previous attire as he was going to go back to his job soon, again. He just loose the gloves, looking around maybe he could help with some people who needed.

Everyone was looking merrier, even more freedom than a few months back when they were endangered by Dvalin. Flowers, petals, were already floating about, decorating the air with the festivity feelings. It, somehow, relaxed him.

Then, his eyes fell on you.

His heart tugged the moment he saw your smile.

You were laughing with a friend next to you, picking up the boxes, probably preparation for the festival as well. He looked away when you tucked your hair behind your ear.

He retreated himself into a more secluded area, clenching onto his chest that was beating uncontrollably, while his other hand covering his now warm face.

He peeked over at you again, and you were already going back into the building you came out from with your friend, and he covered his mouth.

He was in disbelief, that at the sight of you, can make him feel this kind of way for the very first time.

He shut his eyes, trying his best to control himself that feeling bubbly at the moment. He cleared his throat, coming out of the alley and decided to continue his job to distract himself.

You did not really have many friends.

You chose to be that way, for some reason.

You looked outside to your room, thinking of the festival tomorrow that could be so much fun for you, your mother and your only friend. You especially wanted to try the lyre you saw at the end of the street, and the fresh sweet flower right in front of your stall, in which your mother selling outfits special for the festival. Many of the people in Mondstadt would come to your mother for sewing.

Suddenly, your felt a squeeze to your shoulder and you already knew it would be your mother, who then sat across you to watch the moon together.

The both of you enjoyed the moment together, and you failed to notice how your mother stared at you halfway through it, with a smile.
