Jean assigns Kaeya to protect the knights' newest recruit, Y/N, after it's discovered that she unknowingly attracts abyssal power, drawing danger even closer to Mondstadt. The assignment is long-term. Constant. Unavoidable.
Y/N hates it. She refuses to be treated like a liability, especially by a man she barely knows. Being guarded day and night only reinforces her fear that she's a burden, no matter how capable she is.
Kaeya, used to unquestioned authority and clean chains of command, isn't prepared for a partner who challenges him at every turn. They clash. Hard
As Y/N grows stronger, the abyss responds in kind, small incidents escalating into real threats that test Mondstadt's defences and Kaeya's resolve. What began as a strictly professional arrangement becomes increasingly complicated as proximity, shared danger and unspoken fear blur the lines between duty and something far more personal.
