At 'Teyvat Mountain' , 12:30 PM...

Yeonwoo and Scarlet walking through the mountain, it big as the mount Kinabalu but look more tropical instead of snowy.

Yeonwoo took a few gasp as her face was full of sweat, her leg were trembled to walk. Her legs finally gave up as she sit on the boulder near the road. Due to this hot temperature, it made Yeonwoo's brain almost melt out from her head. Her mind hazy enough for her to have black out.

"I can't do this anymore, it's like a mountain where old folks searching for a ginseng..!"

Yeonwoo coughing trying to catch a breath, knowing her physical is weak. Scarlet also sit next to her in sweat and tiredness.

"This walk is important for your physical build, you can't always depending on your aura and luck..."

Yeonwoo nodded her head and accept any Scarlet 's advice, wiping her sweaty face with her sleeves, Scarlet took a blue steel bottle and open the cup like lid.

She took a few sips, then pour a clear water on the cup and gave to Yeonwoo. She softly grab the cup and drink it and let out a breath.

"Oh my god, my leg is like a noodle right now..."

"And..."

"This mountain have a power to blocked all your skills and basically you are now a mere mortal. A human."

Yeonwoo listening to Scarlet since most of her conversation are actually informative and useful for the future and it kinda remind her of time when...

"...This is nostalgic... Haha..( Bomi always talk with me even though I didn't even look at her... )"

A memory of 16 year old of her and Bomi who attending school, Bomi is talkative and sporting kind of person, meanwhile Rei is supportive and smart.

"... (Why did I being so cold to them...)"

She did ask some odd question to Bomi during school time a few months ago. During the cleaning duty, Yeonwoo sitting on the teacher wooden desk while swaying her legs waiting for Bomi to finish her task.

"You shouldn't be friend with me, I was a bad influence to you."

Yeonwoo's black dead eyes staring at Bomi's back, Bomi stopped her cleaning and hold the broom.

"You have a good grade, you protected me when no one does. You never been a bad influence to me."

Bomi's pink eyes turn back to Yeonwoo, she being serious and determined to be her friends. Yeonwoo denied her words, she lower her eyes.

"No one will friended with you if you keep sticking with me."

"They will avoided you because of me."

"Your school life will became harder and boring."

Yeah, that's it. This is the end, Yeonwoo took a long sigh before get off the teacher desk. Bomi gaze at Yeonwoo's ruby eyes, empty as always. She always wish she could fill it with happy memory before graduation, she smile.

"If they don't want to friended with you, they're not my friend."

"What do you mean?"

"I will stay with you till you find your true happiness. I promise."

Those sweet words always came from her lips, Yeonwoo couldn't felt the words but her heart felt light for a bit. She smile.

"Thank you..."
