Y/n laid in her bed on her back that night.

Restless, she left her room and crept down the stairs.
She opened the fridge and clutched the water jug.
She then jolted and almost spilled it on the floor when she heard a knock at the window beside her.

Hu Tao's face was pressed against the glass panes, she waved.

Y/n opened the window and hissed, "what are you doing here?"

"I can't sleep, and obviously you can't either. Can I come in?"

"Sure. But use the door."

Y/n placed the water jug on the kitchen counter next to her glass and wandered over to their front door.
She let Hu Tao in.

They crept back up the stairs to Y/n's room.
Hu Tao bounced onto her bed and laid on her back.

"It's much easier to sleep when you have company isn't it?"

"I wouldn't know." Y/n shook her head at Hu Tao and laughed.

"So." Hu Tao started and pulled a slip of paper from her pocket.

She unfolded it and handed it to Y/n.

"You wanted to know what was written on Barbara's note right?"
"After preparing the body, Zhongli and I went to the station to go see the evidence- though I had to lie a bit. He copied it down, and... this is what it said, in our opinions."

It was written neatly in Zhongli's handwriting.

A girl, praying to her god
That girl being grateful and curious...
But her beloved god couldn't
Couldn't save her and be gracious...
From her inevitable fate

May this be a warning for my love

Simply to say, Hu Tao was disgusted, "I know what you're thinking. This is some sort of twisted confession or something. Who would do that?"

Y/n was silent.

Hu Tao sneered again, "what kind of sicko wrote this... who is next?"
She seemed stricken.

Whereas, Y/n's chest hurt, "w-what."

Hu Tao was grim, "haah... more work for Detective Walmut."

"Hu Tao..." Y/n's lip wobbled, "you don't need to solve these... you may end up how Barbara did."
"You know, many people would miss you too."

Hu Tao smiled at Y/n. "I just... even though my company receives more money- my heart would break when someone I'm really close to dies... say, something happens to you or Ganyu... or even Zhongli."
"I'm just protecting them."

"Oh, good god. Why does this always happen to me?"

At that Hu Tao's tilted her head.

Y/n promised to explain it later on... but for now she sat on her bed in silence next to her best friend.
The best friend in question put herself in a path of danger...
Why was everyone like this?

(Aye. So please inform me on how I could fix this note too.)

(Guess what's going to happen next...)
*Haha not really*
