Liyue Harbour - Evening
It was finally that time of the week - time for the Lantern Rite music festival. F/N dragged Cyno by the arm, hearing the voices of performers already.
"Hurry up! We're going to miss the opening act!" They insisted, running towards the Iridescence Tour Stage. They pushed past the crowd making their way to the front. Cyno had to apologise to several people as they went through. F/N's eyes lit up as they watched the performance. Cyno glanced over, recognising this very expression from the first time F/N had watched one of Nilou's performances. He smiled, before facing back to the stage.

Xinyan began playing her guitar as the crowd cheered.
"The Blaze Lilies!"
"I'm up here blazin' trails through the midnight sky, lightin' up the world below! And when the crowds all hear my voice, they'll meet the spirit of rock n' roll!"
"Let's go! Hey you, butterfly, you too, buzzin' by, guidin' your way to the afterlife. Openin' the path without a fright, oh! I'll light the fire, watch it blaze 'cross the universe. I'll spit my rhymes, watch your step or you'll get burned, hey!"
Xinyan strummed the final chord of the song on the guitar, "Yeah!"
The crowd began to clap for the performers.

Meanwhile... (All over Liyue)
"Does anybody have any plans tomorrow? With another year behind us, I think we deserve a celebration of our own. My treat. Interested?"
"The Tianquan footing the bill? I can't miss out on that."
Yelan began to walk away from the group.
