Finally arriving in Liyue, my jubilant exclamations reverberated through the air as I leaped in elation, the anticipation of reunion coursing through my veins. Paimon, ever the pragmatic companion, couldn't help but punctuate the moment with a reminder of my lack of sleep.
"You're quite energetic for someone who hasn't slept at least 6 hours," she remarked, her tiny figure hovering beside me.
"Oh shush! I'm just super excited to meet them again," I retorted, brushing off imaginary dust particles from my clothes, the enthusiasm eclipsing any fatigue.
As we stood in the unfamiliar locale, Aether interjected with a question, "So where's their house?" His gaze scanned the surroundings, searching for clues amidst the Liyue landscape.
I began to respond, but my words trailed off into an ominous silence.

"How long do we have to climb?!" Paimon's shrill voice echoed as we ascended the unforgiving terrain, the summit seemingly elusive.
"Just a few more meters!" I laughed, utilizing my Anemo abilities to propel myself upward, clinging to the rugged surface with determination.
After what felt like an eternity - perhaps minutes or hours - I stood triumphantly atop the mountain, a solitary house greeting me. Its facade, though, betrayed a sense of neglect, an air of abandonment clinging to its structure.
Paimon, panting and disheveled, arrived with Aether. "That was so exhausting!" she whined, vocalizing the collective fatigue we had endured.
"We'll wait for you outside here," Aether offered, a supportive smile etched across his face as I faced the enigmatic structure.
I approached the front porch, the creaking wood underfoot adding to the atmosphere of anticipation. My hand clasped the rusty old doorknob, cool to the touch. In a moment of contemplation, I drew a deep breath, steeling myself for the unknown, and with a deliberate turn, I swung open the door, revealing a tableau of memories and potential discoveries.
