Not all dreams are strong enough to create ambitions. Yet, Teyvat's skies will always have a place for those who dream beyond the veil. So dream on, dear one and...
Eh, an early chapter? AKA I have no patience and will probably start posting chapters by when they're done or specific days like Monday or Friday, etc. Also, Wanderer Interlude quest spoilers ahead, be warned!

Lumine sat at the Oracle's side as the Alcor rocked back and forth against the choppy waves of the storm that surrounded Inazuma, her hair still dripping wet after she dived in after (Y/N). Paimon hovered slightly behind while Kazuha and Beidou stood at the closed door of the room. An expression of distraught upon Paimon's face as she glances back and forth between Lumine and (Y/N) as the Oracle Knight laid unmoving in the bed she was brought to. When Lumine had gone searching for (Y/N) after Kazuha mentioning that he'd just spoken with the Oracle Knight, Lumine hadn't thought that she'd witnessed (Y/N) be dragged overboard of the Alcor by a large rogue wave that'd crashed into the ship. Lumine felt something inside of her panic in fear over losing her... friend.
It's strange... Lumine thinks to herself. The last time she'd felt like this was when she'd witnessed the Oracle's unmoving form on the ground in the Golden House. She didn't have the time to sort out her feelings about what happened back then, after all. Even now, she's unsure about what these feelings are. She's been too wrapped up in trying to figure out her brother's motives about siding with the Abyss Order for her to really sit back and think. Lumine's heart still aches from the short meeting they had. She hopes that she'll be able to learn more about his motives in Inazuma...
Yet, she would never wish for the cost to be her dear friend's life.
Kazuha glances between the two women. One sleeps, somewhat peacefully, while the other's expression is torn in grief and anxiety. Worrying over the one she cares for. Something draws his memory to the day he lost his own treasured friend. The fear lingers in his mind as he thinks about those events. He realizes with a slow breath in, that Lumine's expression bares similarities to the one he likely wore that day. Worry and fear over losing someone she cares for.
Beidou senses the tense atmosphere in the room as she approaches the Traveler's side. She places her half-gloved hand on Lumine's shoulder, trying to allay her fears and concerns.
"Hey, there's no use in worrying and fretting over what has already happened. People fall overboard all the time out at sea. (Y/N) will be okay after some rest. I'm certain she would hate to see you in such a state when she wakes up. So why don't you get some of your own well deserved rest." Beidou tries, but it goes through one ear and out the other for Lumine. Paimon nods, her brows furrowed in concern as she agrees with Beidou.
"Yeah... Paimon's never seen you like this before, Lumine... If Captain Beidou says that (Y/N) should be okay, then we should listen to her and not be too overly worried. (Y/N) will be back up and ready to go in no time!" Paimon tries as well. This time, Lumine seems to have heard her as she sighs with a nod.
"You're right..." She whispers softly as she stands. Beidou's hand falls to her side before she raises her arm around Lumine's shoulders.
"Let's go get you situated in your room. Come on." She leads Lumine and Paimon out of the room. Kazuha moves to leave as well, however, something causes him to hesitate. Instead, he approaches the spot where Lumine had once been.
