#Tartali #Chili #Zhongli #Venti #タル鍾

zhongli feels cold, he's on his deathbed.

he'd been expecting this, but he didn't expect it would be so soothing.

golden cracks were appearing on his skin as he shut his eyes closed, waiting for the moment he'd be swept away by a beautiful blue wave.

venti was by his side during this, his only friend who had lasted this long by his side, and it was heart wrenching to watch his old friend go

"morax. how do you feel?"

"i feel calm.. like i'm being enveloped in a warm- warm blanket"

"you'll be able to see him again" venti's voice was cracking, he let out a forced chuckle.

"i'm aware.. i've waited so long"

slowly, zhongli started crumbling away.

"i'll see you on the other side, my old friend"

zhongli gives venti a soft smile.

"send him my regards, old friend"

and just a few minutes, all that was left was ash.

as venti stood up to look out the window, he heard taps. rain.

the geo archon was no longer alive.

though the rain poured, a small ray of light was visible, an opening in the clouds, as if a greeting.

"heh, they're finally reuinted, those two lovebirds"

warm. he felt arms around him. a familiar feeling he knew all too well.

"ajax"

"you're here, welcome home, baobei"
