Fischl hadn't messed with Razor in a while, since the day she had apologized for what she did, she barely even saw him, but it wasn't over for her. As long as the wolf boy was alive, he would be a threat to her. Why? Not even Oz knew. He wanted her to stop trying to hurt him, and try to be friends, but all she said when he tried to make her stop was: "it's all for Bennett". The raven didn't understand why she was so obsessed with the idea that Razor was a bad thing in the pyro user's life, but he didn't think he was, the wolf boy was just Bennett's friend.

Well, not really "friend", ever since their first kiss in Mondstadt, both boys felt something different when they were together, a slight, warm feeling of comfort, none thought badly of it tough.

They sat at the edge of Starsnatch Cliff, the boys had previously picked some cecilias, common flowers from the area, and were attempting to make a flower crown, the adventurer laid his head on the other's shoulder as he crafted his crown, it was going rather smoothly, unlike the wolf boy's crown, some cecilias had lost several petals, and there were parts weirdly sticking out of it, the electro user thought it would never be as good as Bennett's, but then he showed it to the adventurer, and he told him that those little imperfections were what made his flower crown special and unique, and it would stand out from the other crowns because of its difference, and that made his crown perfect. It made Razor feel good.

The pyro user softly placed his crown on the wolf boy's head, and he placed his crown on the other's head too, which was received with a gentle laugh, for which he smiled in return.

Then they heard a lullaby, it wasn't loud, but it was loud enough to faintly hear from the cliff. The delicate playing of a lyre's strings and the peaceful humming from afar calmed down even the strong wind that was blowing.

The boys looked down at a small island to find the source of the music. Wich to no one's surprise, Venti sat on that rock, holding his lyre and singing to another person sitting beside him. They did not recognize who the other was, but that was none of their business.

As both of them listened to the faint lullaby, Bennett fell asleep on Razor's shoulder, the boy placed his head on top of the other's and closed his eyes. A nice afternoon with soft music in the background, his best friend sleeping on his shoulder and him doing the same, could he ask for more?
