The first full moon of the year has risen over Liyue, signaling the start of the Lantern Rite Festival, a time where travelers from all nations join together to celebrate. But aboard on the Alcor, Kaedehara Kazuha's troubles return. Usually, he has no problem with the loss of his dear friend, Tomo, finding solace in nature and the wind, but Lantern Rite marks the anniversary of his death. Of course, this is why Kazuha is never seen at the festival, for he prefers to stay aboard the Alcor or travel Inazuma during this time, mourning his friend. This year especially do the sorrows feel almost as they did the time when his friend passed on. But Tomo's parents managed to contact him, asking to meet up in the festival to talk about their late son. Kazuha never provides a response to his friend's parents and chooses to spend time wandering the mountains with his friend Xinyan, who slowly starts realizing Kazuha is most definitely not as all right as he usually is. Quite the opposite, Kazuha feels the ocean calling him to meet his friend again.
