Aether had never felt this useless before. He felt fine while walking back to Liyue after completing the mission he was given, but now he felt out of control.
Even though he was unable to even move his own body he had witnessed what happened with [Y/N] it was like being a prisoner in his own mind.
He wondered if Fischl and the others were impacted by this too. He could see, feel, taste, and hear but had no control. Someone or something was controlling his movements.
It was like there was a transparent sheet of glass from his brain and his movements were almost like a frame.
He wanted to just apologise to [Y/N] To tell them that this was not the words he would ever say to them.
Being confused, angry all at once he didn't know what. He wanted to do something about this but he couldn't. Helpless and feeling abandoned he reluctantly allowed whatever was going on, to happen to him.
With a sudden jolt, Aether felt himself come to his own body.
He gasped for the fresh air he so longed for. He was back in his room, with no Paimon in sight. His throat felt so dry as if he hadn't drank water for days.
Mustering the strength he had walked to his kitchen to fetch water. After drinking his throat felt less parched but the dryness and itchiness would not fade away.
Filling a second cup to the brim he chugged it down again hoping that this uneasy feeling would leave him.
Sitting down on his couch his head throbbing, pounding uncontrollably, all he wanted to know was what was wrong with him.
"Traveller,"
An eerie voice spoke.
Aether looked around his room, he was alone where the voice came from. He had never felt this afraid before, being afraid was something that only facing the fatui had brought. The voice spoke again,
"I'm not there physically, I'm just speaking from your mind,"
"Who's there,"
Aether talked to himself. If anyone were to walk in on him right now, he would be sent to the mental asylum. He was crouching and waving his hands over his face as if there was a fly.
"Listen very closely to what I am about to tell you. You are no longer the owner of this body, I am,"
"What? What do you mean?"
"Aether is no longer needed, he will not exist anymore. He is now just a vessel,"
"Who are you?"
"Do you really want to know,"
"Yes,"
"It's Lumine,"
"Sister?"
"Just pulling your tail. It's not the sister that you plastered missing photos of everywhere,"
Aether stayed silent, he had a terrible feeling that he knew who it was.
"Who are you and what are you going to do,"
Aether demanded,
No response.
"I swear to god, if you lay your filthy hands on [Y/N]. You are so dead,"
The voice responded and laughed as it echoed through Another's head.
"Oh who said I was going to be doing the dirty work,"
Aether stood up abruptly with plead in his voice he begged,
"What are you planning, don't hurt them please,"
"I can't guarantee that," The voice acknowledged.
That was the last thing that Aether had heard and said before he felt the feeling of being helplessly trapped again.
Feeling like he was riding the huge waves on a small wooden boat in the ocean, he felt like he was drowning in his own thoughts. Knowing that he had no way out, he really was a simple but dangerous vessel now.
Leaving himself in a void of rage, guilt and sorrow, he just wished that his life would just come to an end.
