yelan x ayato: the river's aura

"Perhaps it's about time to forget about my dream?"

That river means a lot to her. The exact water guided her through her most challenging times. Can it stop her endless misery, though? That exact body of water has resolved everything up until this point.

"Wait, who's that by the side of the river?"

Life has always been a straightforward tunnel of emptiness for her. She's always felt lost, yet found in that tunnel. Her style, however, is completely different from the tunnel planned for her. Something more suitable would be a crazy adventure with twists and turns. However, she knows she's never going to reach that tunnel. Every day she feels like giving up. Everything feels too stressful, yet mundane for her. Her piling assignments, long essays and tough exams. All of those mean nothing to her, but also everything. However, everything changes when she meets someone. But will it change for the better, or the worse?

A calling, he feels. The life he received and many planned for isn't what's written in his story. Except, his reality poses a question: "Are you running away for a dream that only you support and have to stand alone for? Or, would you rather live the life that would bring happiness and harmony for your people?". When he couldn't take it, he ran off. From his family and his duty to serve this whole nation. He starves himself from most interactions and intends to end his life whenever he gets the chance to. However, an invisible force prevents him from doing so.

This story features Genshin Impact characters, Yelan and Ayato, and the reality they must face. A book filled with questions about their life, their existence, and how they are going to overcome life's boring system and the expectations of everyone around them. All starting from a simple, plain river that connects them with each other.
