Intro. (xiao x venti) Xiao and Venti shared a secret love. The playful Anemo and the serious Yaksha were inseparable, until the visits stopped. After weeks of anguished silence, Xiao heard a familiar melody breaking the night at the Wangshu Inn. Hope in his chest, he followed the trail to a border cave. What he found broke his soul: Venti was not dressed as a bard, but in heavenly robes of ivory and magenta. Her braids, once aquamarine, burned in an abyssal purple; her eyes, once emerald, shone with terrifying malice. "Venti...?" whispered the Yaksha, paralyzed with horror. The archon turned with a psychopathic smile, his voice sweet dripping with venom: "Did you forget your beloved?" . The corruption of the Abyss had claimed him. Seeing reality, Xiao's heart was torn apart, but a new fire consumed him: he would not lose anyone else. He vowed to save him, no matter the price. The Yaksha was ready to descend into any hell for him.
