    Summary

    Varka smiled down at Lohen sadly. “Then why do you keep such tight constraints on yourself? Tell me, Lohen, for I cannot fathom how someone as strong as you sees themselves as… deserving of punishment despite having shown incredible strength against an enemy that I can swear on my honor that neither I could win against.” 

    “It’s different,” Lohen began, but his words felt hollow. He repeated, “It’s different.”

    “How?”

    Lohen could feel the same frustration clawing at his skin when his parents would berate him for going out and coming back bloody. It was something that was wired innately into his being. He needed a stimulus that proved that he wasn’t someone who could be easily stepped over. 

    “How?” Varka asked again.

    Lohen opened his mouth, and it felt as though his tongue had gone dry. He sniffled before turning his head away. “It just is, I don’t know.”

    “If you don’t know, then will you let me make the decision for you?” Varka asked.

    Summary

    He let his hand go slack and blinked when Illuga still didn’t let go. “Okay,” he whispered, remembering that he could speak.

    Illuga shook his hand lightly. “You’re a good person, Lohen. I’m sorry that I’m prying so much, but you seem like you need to hear it.”

    I do? Maybe if you say so, I do need to hear it. Varka had said it many times, but it simply tasted sweeter when the words rolled off Illuga’s tongue. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry that you’re feeling so much for someone like me.

    Summary

    The door swings open, heavy footsteps meeting the floor underneath. He doesn't look up to see who it is, he doesn't have to. A weight drops beside him, a silent but comforting presence all the same. Neither say anything, not immediately. They simply find something to stare at, their breaths the only sounds they make. There was a time where he hated how well it seemed the Grand Master could read him, believing it to be an opening for control to be taken from him. But now? He finds himself grateful for it, even extends some trust with it.

    "Well," he finally breaks the silence, figuring he might as well do it first. Get in his final word before the hammer swings down. "Guess that's that then, huh?" His hand falls to his lap, limp. Varka makes no move to answer. "The great heroes defeated the big bad villain and uncovered the remains of his influence while the sinner cleaned up his mistakes." A dry laugh fills the air, his heart isn't really in it. "At least I had one last hurrah. Certainly wasn't the way I imagined it, but eh, beggars can't be choosers."

    a quiet discussion after the storm has passed.

    Summary

    “You know you were supposed to return after the ambush,” Varka said, folding his arms.

    Lohen did not look up. “I was following the stragglers.”

    “Yes, I gathered that.” Varka’s gaze drifted from the dissolving corpses to the rabbit curled in Lohen’s lap. “What I don’t understand is how that turned into you having a tea party with a rabbit.”

    A pre-release character study of Lohen as someone touched by the Abyss, yet still claimed by Mondstadt’s winds.

    Summary

    Illuga is overworked, and everyone else knows it but him. When he starts to show signs of getting sick, Nikita sends him to Final Night Cemetery under the pretense of an emergency supply run. But really it's so Flins can keep him there and make sure he gets the rest and care he deserves.
