As M/n said, he helped however he could with his vision. Either at home or at the pharmacy with his healing abilities. It brought joy to his heart to be able to help.
It's not often a side character who's supposed to be dead gets a vision.
M/n yawns and stretches his body across his bed before getting up to start his unpredictable day.
"Morning M/n! What's on your agenda today!"

"You still forget to knock now and then but good morning Ai."She cheerfully giggles while pulling in Gale with her. The poor male was starting to see a pattern, it seems like those in the brothel had very keen senses because they all seem to find him no matter what when normal people couldn't. He starts to conclude that they have an eye for outliers and can pick up on others given their line of work. Gale didn't mind it if he was being honest, they were the first group of people who truly didn't care that he kills for a living.
"Gale, you're smiling more!"

"Oh hush... Anyway, Baizhu doesn't need help today and I'm sure Mister Zhongli and Sir Tartaglia aren't too busy and would adore your attention right now."

"Hm, you're right. I have had much time to relax with either of them since last week's test of humanity and since then I've been helping with tending to those who got hurt while evacuating or during the battle. Alright, I have plans now!"

💚💚💚

M/n sighs heavily...He was happy to seek them out but now, he wanted to turn around and leave. Why you may ask? Aether and Paimon were still in Liyue. Even though he loved them, he didn't want to be directly involved with the major characters.
"Hello again."

"Hi, M-M/n!"Aether lights up brightly at the sight of the Dendro wielder, quite the shock for the male at that.
Uh, why is he so happy to see me? We've barely met a handful of times...
"How've you been? I hope you're not hurt anywhere, if you are I can heal you right up!"

"I've heard from many that you're a great healer, so if I'm hurt while in Liyue I'll make sure to come to visit you."Aether's cheeks were a rosy pink further confusing M/n even more but M/n found it adorable enough to pat the smaller of the two on the head.
"Has anyone ever told you that you're adorable?"

"Huh?!"

"Pft, sorry couldn't help it, our great hero is quite the shy man I see."M/n chuckles at the flustered blondie. Childe felt jealous and pouted for all to see, he too wanted to be petted by the Dendro user but wouldn't voice it until they had alone time. Zhongli was just a smidge jealous but found it enduring to see his darling jewel more trusting of others than before. From what he heard from Baizhu, occasionally working at the Pharmacy M/n was gaining better social skills.
"Aether–"M/n froze at the sound of that oh-so-familiar voice and he looks over. It was his sister of this world; Yelan.

Yelan opens her mouth to voice her thoughts to M/n but the look in his eyes caused her not to. It was a look of secrecy but a hint of wanting to expose their sibling status... However, now wasn't the time to do so. The two were oozing an aura of awkwardness that was easy to pick up on.
"Lady Ningguang is searching for you..."

"Ah okay, see you later M/n maybe we can have lunch together!"Aether parts with a hug then quickly jogged off to follow the tall woman he met a while back.
Hm seems that my continued life is changing more and more of the story..
"M/n, what brought you out today?"

"Oh I was looking for you two, let's spend some time together, I heard there's a new vendor selling something called Baklava from Sumeru. I've been wanting to try it but never got the chance, so let's go and enjoy the rest of our day!"
