This story features a Gender-Neutral Y/N
Leaving behind the friends and life that they had finally found, Y/N then found themselves in the wild, alone and afraid. Scared to even interact with other humans as all experiences since Y/N's exile had bee...
But of course there would be no waiting. I think there would be very little in all of Teyvat that could have stopped Y/N from sprinting out of the Dawn Winery Estate as they just did. And neither myself nor Y/N's old partner who also happened to be present, Director Hu Tao, had managed to speak up in time to have seen if we might have been one of these few things to halt them in their tracks.
There was nary but a couple moment's pause at most between the words leaving young Noelle's lips and Y/N bolting upright from their seat, knocking the chair a considerable distance backwards where it then fell off it's four legs, and the clearly distressed Y/N then darted out of the Dawn Winery before anybody could reasonably react– beyond Amber's failed plea that is.
Amber: "They didn't stop...? c–Come on Eula! We gotta go after them! Come on!"
Eula: "...Hmm. Okay, let's do it like this... *ahem* Amber, Knight Y/N will almost certainly be heading back to the city. So take to the skies and meet them there, make sure they don't do anything rash."
Amber: "On it! Oh! But what about you?"
Eula: "I'll make my way back in due time. I just have to do a handful of things here first. But I trust that you will keep our distressed Knight Y/N on the straight and narrow until my arrival?"
Amber: "Of course! You can count on me!"
And then, like the wind she so adores, Amber had rushed out of the Dawn Winery's doors in chase of Y/N. Y/N... I don't think I can truly comprehend the worry you're feeling right now, of a close friend being kidnapped– despite our lofty promises of protection I guaranteed to you. And on top of that...

I had so brashly reintroduced the two of you. I had thought that it might have proven a rather nice reunion alongside the rest of those who were here for this makeshift lunch party. *sigh* I suppose now there's little chance of that private dinner at Wangshu Inn we were meant to have tonight, is there? Director Hu Tao looks to be just as disappointed as me, or could that be worry? I suppose she must also be fretting about the state of both Y/N and Eira, as I understand it she and Y/N were still a couple at the time of Eira's meeting and loss upon Dragonspine...
But I will have to address her in a moment. It doesn't look like she's in any rush to leave currently, rather like she's stuck in her mind trying to decide what to do next. But for now, I must figure out what the devil is going on here.
Eula: "Noelle. Report! What transpired back in the city, exactly?"
Noelle: "Oh! Right away, Spindrift Knight! *ahem* I was just paying miss Eira a visit so as to bring her some lunch. She had requested to try some Liyue cuisine after all, but Y/N was too busy with their duties to make the trip back today, so I volunteered to handle the request for them. But when I got to Eira's safehouse, I found that the front door was already unlocked! I quickly made my way inside, but the area seemed to have been ransacked. If I might suggest, it looked like there was a large struggle. I searched the entire house, but Eira was nowhere to be found! And there was a window in the back that had a slight draft coming from it, I think that might have been their point of exit as it is very difficult to fully close those windows from the outside but the back of the safehouse is away from public view so it would have been easier for them to sneak out."
