(Zhongli's reaction to Y/N's passing
Featuring other characters)

Pantalone sat on the chair, closing an envelope where a letter is written for his brother-in-law, Zhongli. An update news about his wife's passing, Pantalone knows that he had the right to know about Y/N.

After sealing the paper with wax, he sent a Fatui to send the message and go to Liyue as soon as possible.

The harbinger looked around the room, it was nearly empty. Most of Y/N's stuff has been placed in her old room, instead of their shared one.

He glanced at the bed and pain struck him. Just a few hours ago, her passing body was laying down on the bed, now she is in a coffin prepared to be buried and rest.

With a few tears, he broke down again. Leaning his head on the table sobbing painfully.

=LIYUE=

To my dearest brother-in-law, Mr
Zhongli,

I'm here to tell you that your sister, my wife, Y/N has passed last night.

She passed away in her sleep, it was painful to realized that she is dead. But the peaceful expression she had made me feel at ease, knowing Y/N is finally having her long well deserved rest.

She also wished to give this wallet to you, saying that you struggled with money sometimes.

Feel free to visit Snezhnaya if you wish to see Y/N in her final resting place. The Tsaritsa won't mind and have a truce, she understands that you are a family to Y/N.

-Brother in Law
Pantalone

A drop of water fell on the paper. But it was tears, falling down the cheeks of the Geo Archon as he read the letter once more.

The male let out a shaky breath and placed the later down the table, folding his hands ontop before looking at the land of Liyue at the mountain of Cloud Retainer.

Peaceful. The land looked.

Yet his heart from the inside is shattering, breaking loudly.

A family lost, his bonded little sister passed from a cursed vision. How the world can be so cruel.

Zhongli looked down at the letter and picked up the small dandelion that joined the letter that was sent to him.

"I hope... You rest well my dear friend. The chapter of your story has ended here, but I will still continue the path of my own journey with your guidance from above."

He whispered to the dandelion, before blowing it softly, watching the petals fly on the air dancing with the wind.

His ember eyes watched all of them fly until they blended in the sky, sending his message to his friend, his sister. A few more tears fell down his cheeks, a few stomping of hooves were heard from behind. Moon Carver landed at the soil behind the Archon.

"Morax. I sense your sadness, what has been bothering you?" The Adepti asked.

The Geo Archon took a deep breath before wiping his tears away, he elegantly turned his body to face his friend. Before he could even say anything else...

He saw a figure behind the Adepti. A familiar colored hair, a cryo vision on her side. Familiar crystal blue eyes.

There she stood in a slight transparency body, was Y/N smiling at Zhongli. But she wasn't alone, beside her stood Guizhong waving at Morax before they soon faded together with an encouraging smile.

His heart melted at the sight. He finally felt calm and relieved, he finally snaoped out of his trance and looked at Moon Carver.

"I'm alright, old friend. I think you are familiar with Y/N? Yes?" He asked the adepti beside him.

Nodding he replied, "Yes. One of the loyal protectors of Liyue before. Pity she left to Snezhnaya."

"She recently passed... That is why I feel a bit more... Low-spirited."

"I see, she has a pure heart. Doesn't deserve this kind of ending, but this is where her story ends. May the Archons guide her."

=WANGSHU INN=

A few petals of dandelions passed by the amber eyed Yaksha as he read the letter that Morax sent him.

The news had him in shock. How her life ended because of this sickness, he felt his heart ached in pain knowing he lost a friend. Like how he lost his brothers and sisters.

Xiao knew the news must be known to Y/N's closest friends. So he seeks to Liyue Harbor and gave the letter to Ganyu. Telling her that she must show the letter to those people who is deeply part of Y/N's heart.

The letter moved from Ganyu to Keqing, before going to Ningguang and then Yelan.

Yelan was most affected, her partner in crime has passed. It pains her, she even thought of crossing paths again. But she guess her last meeting with her in the Lantern Rite was it.

In Mondatadt, Diluc looked at the letter with a frowned face. Time flies way too fast for him.

He sighed before placing the letter beside the vase filled with Dandelions by the sunlight before going to the Tavern for work in order to distract himself from the pain in his chest.

"Are you okay?" Cyno asked the Wanderer as he stared off to the sky.

A familiar breeze washed over him, like someone was giving him a soft embrace.

Cyno and Kaveh looked at him when they saw him stop his tracks and randomly looked up at the horizon.

"Tch. Mind your own business..." Wanderer said before flying pass them with immense speed.

Kaveh rolled his eyes, "Well sorry. Just got worried."

The General beside the Architect sighed before nudging Kaveh.

"Come on. Best to go back to the city, I wanna play some TCG."

The tall blonde smiled and clapped his hands, "I'll join! I hope Al Haitham brings his flower over too, I would love to tease him."

Kaveh joked using the nickname name that Al Haitham gave his dear one.
