For centuries, Xiao has protected Liyue from the shadows, keeping his distance from mortals out of fear that his cursed Yaksha energy might harm them. During Lantern Rite, he finds himself resting on the rooftop of a secluded sanctuary belonging to a beautiful creature. Unlike humans, your kind reacts differently to his energy, leaving an unexpected connection neither of you understands. What begins as a quiet encounter slowly becomes something more. Xiao may insist he only visits to watch over the area, but he finds himself returning night after night. Perhaps your little sanctuary feels safer than he cares to admit—a place where he can lower his guard, enjoy the lanterns, and quietly feel at home beside someone who isn’t afraid of him.
