"Hello there." You stiffen and freeze in your spot. "Kazuha!" Paimon exclaims, waving at him. "Greetings, Paimon." You turn around and lock eyes with him. Kazuha smiles sweetly and extends a hand towards you. "Greetings to you as well." Kazuha raises an eyebrow and asks, "May I ask your name?" "Oh- Uh- Of course-" You stutter out. "Um, my name's [reader], nice to meet you! ..Again." "You have a lovely name." "Thank you, yours is a lovely name as well." Paimon's eyes travel from you to Kazuha, confused. "So.. you two know each other? Since when? And why didn't you tell Paimon?!" Kazuha chuckles and replies, "I simply met her this morning, when I bought some medication for a sick crewmate."
"Oh!" Paimon exclaims. "That makes more sense!" You nod, and turn your eyes to the battle in front when people suddenly started cheering louder than before. Your eyes widen when you realize Aether has won, and is one of the last two finalists. Clapping your hands, you cheered along with the crowd. Aether glances your way and waves at you. You wave back excitedly, mouthing the words, "Go Aether!"
A short break passes to help Aether rest and regain his strength, but when it's finally time for the last tournament, the other competitor is nowhere to be seen. Kazuha urges Beidou to check the prize, and when Beidou opens the box containing the vision, it had disappeared. The crowd gasped, and you stared at it, horrified.
