Aether had finished the fight with the Shade of Death and deciding to be in an alliance with the Fatui to protect Paimon. But suddenly, screens appeared all over Teyvat in all the realms of mortals and immortals as they are shown things that they had never even dreamed of or known about. A/N: The story happens after the 7.0 archon quest and world quests of Eye of Graeae. And I will say now that this story is in the favour of Celestia and the Heavenly Principles, and also it won't entirely be true as it will have changes from me.

Caroline Sterling has always been loyal. Sidney and Tatum are her best friends, her safe place, her family. She would never do anything to hurt them. Never cross a line. Never fall for the wrong boys. But sometimes, the wrong boys don't look away. It starts with small things. A glance that lingers too long. A hand brushing hers on purpose. A feeling she tries to ignore. Billy watches her like she's something fragile. Stu looks at her like she's something he wants to win. Caroline tells herself it doesn't mean anything. She tells herself she would never betray her friends. But when fear takes over Woodsboro and the truth begins to surface, Caroline realizes something far worse than a crush has been growing in the shadows. The boys she couldn't stay away from weren't just drawn to her. They were fixated. And when the masks come off, Caroline is left with the unbearable question was she just another part of their game... or the only thing they ever truly wanted? Now she must choose between the friends she refuses to lose and the boys who refuse to let her go.
