AETHER POV:

I sat up in my bed, rubbing my head, I looked at my clock. 3:23, with a heavy sigh I laid back down accidentally squishing Turtle. Wait wasn't he human? Or was that just a really realistic dream? Never mind that, Turtle squirmed out and shape-shifted into a human. I looked at Turtle, no wait his name was Alatus right? I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't dreaming again.

"Hello? Aether?" Alatus asked
"Uhm yeah, sorry"

I looked away and my gaze caught a bracelet on my self. Old memories with a faded face flashed in my mind.

"Aether, are you feeling well?"
"Oh I'm fine just remembering old times"
"Mind if you tell me, if it won't bother you"
"Oh of course not I'll tell you"

3 years ago, I had a lover, his name was Xiao. He was the son of a wealthy businessman, Zhongli. He was also secretly a Adepti, working under the company was just a cover. He would constantly go out for missions. But one day, Ganyu, his older sister, told me he went missing, and Zhongli pronounced him dead. Not long after, my house was set on fire by some drunk teenagers. All of my picture and memories of Xiao was burned along with the house, all I could savage was a bracelet he gifted me. But its been so long since I ever seen a picture or video of him, I forgot how he looked, sounded, and what his personality even was. After all this time, I still couldn't move on so my heart would belong to him only and no one else...

"When did you and this person "Xiao" first meet? Alatus asked
"I can save that story for another time, its 3:40, I have work tomorrow."
