"We've come to say goodbye," Paimon said
"What." I said
"We are going to inazuma" She saidShe's leaving me?
"How are you getting there?" I ask
"The crux fleet is taking us there" the traveler said
"Don't worry I'll come back and visit" she saidShe's leaving. She can't leave. No. Don't let her leave.
"Have a safe trip," I say
No
"Bye!" They both say
Don't go.
"Traveler wait" I say
"Hm?" She turns to meStay with me Don't leave. Please.
"Never mind" I say
No, ask her to stay.
She smiled then turns and walks towards the harbor. My heart ached, As soon as thing get better they just get even worse.
Two months later
As I stood on top of that same balcony my karmic debt got worser. No matter what I did, where I went it just kept getting worser. I haven't been able to sleep for sometime now but everyone saw it as normal for me, it was honestly, I wouldn't sleep for months. Not because I couldn't but because I won't.
"Xiao, you should have told me you needed more medicine. Stop making yourself suffer." Zhongli said
"I'm fine," I grunted
"We all know your not. Even the others (the adepti) are worried for you," he said calmly
"Mora- ...Zhongli.. I'm fine, you shouldn't worry about me. This is the price I have to pay." I said
"Even if it meant you can't protect her anymore?" He asked
"How did you-"
"Please my boy, cloud retainer isn't very good at keeping secrets from me. And I've seen the way you look at her, I looked at someone the same way before." Zhongli cut inIt went quiet, Zhongli handed xiao a container
"Here, these should last you awhile," he said
"Thanks.." i mumbled
"It's best if I get going." He stated
"Right, goodbye Zhongli" I said
"Goodbye Xiao." Zhongli said leaving the balcony
"Oh, one thing xiao." Zhongli turned and said
"Hm?"
"The traveler is coming back tomorrow or the day after that." He said with a happy toneZhongli turned back around and left
"She's... coming back..." I whispered
I teleported to a branch on the inn and think
She's coming back, after all this time.
I feel a small smile creep across my face. At long last, she's returning home...
