The End.
The wolf looks over his shoulder with a sly and menacing expression. The coin purse full of Mora lays scattered and forgotten on the ground.

“There are two girls up there playing music,” the man says.

“Their song would be the perfect present, but I don’t know how to get up there.” Baoyu says.

“I know the way. I can take you!” The man says.

“Really?” Baoyu holds out her hand to him. “Then let’s go find the music together!”
The wolf and Baoyu walk off hand-in-hand down a path. Glaze Lily petals are scattered in the wind. The red blanket Baoyu bought drags on the ground behind her.

Baoyu turns around and sees a tall man with long dark hair and a soft fuzzy coat.

“I heard music, and I want to see what’s going on!” Baoyu says.

“Why, you’re too small to see what’s up there, but I am tall, and I can tell you I see,” the man says.

“Oh, yes please!” Baoyu answers.
On left, a scary-looking, unnamed wolf man with glasses stares forward. On right, the wolf stands beside Baoyu. Both stand on their hind legs.

Baoyu hears a tune. That’s it! She’ll get them all a song! They can all dance and play together!

The song drifts down from the top of a cliff, just beside the Harbor. Baoyu goes to the base of the cliff, but she’s too small to see what’s on top!

“Excuse me little girl, what are you doing?”
In upper left corner, Baoyu pauses to listen to music. To right of page, Baoyu stands at the base of a cliff, listening to music. A dark, spooky shadow looms over her.

There’s just one present left, but what should she get? It should be something that all of them can share, to remind Baba and Ajax that when they’re together, it’s time to smile!
Baoyu runs off right side of page, towards music. Xiao, Lumine, Ajax, and Zhongli's tails are featured in bottom left side of page, along with a brief conversation: Xiao: "It's getting late..." Lumine: "Where is she?" Ajax: "I swear I just saw her run by..." Zhongli: "Keep looking. She can't be far."

"Thank you!” Baoyu tells her.

“Good luck to you,” Granny says. “I hope Ajax feels better.”

Baoyu knows he will. With a beautiful red blanket to wrap himself in when he feels scared, now Ajax can be brave all the time, even if Baoyu and Baba aren’t there!
At top, Baoyu runs off, happily. Granny wishes her well. At bottom, Baoyu continues running through harbor, happy with the gifts she's acquired. Ajax, Xiao, Zhongli, Lumine, and Ningguang all panic in the background, still unable to find Baoyu. Ajax: "Baoyu! Where are you?" Xiao: "Why can't I see her?" Zhongli: "Meimei, please come back!" Lumine: "Should we check outisde the harbor?" Ningguang: "No sightings from the Millelith..."

Granny picks up the red blanket. “Well, since you’ve asked so nicely, I suppose I can sell it to you for ten mora. Do you have ten mora?”

“Yes! I have ten mora!” Baoyu exclaims.

She counts out ten coins, and gives them to Granny with a smile. Granny gives her the blanket in return.
Ten mora coins, labeled one through ten.

It seems like no one is selling blankets, but just when Baoyu is about to give up, she sees an old granny knitting.

Granny has knitted many colorful blankets, but the one she’s just finished is a bright lucky red, just like Baoyu’s blanket!

“Granny, can I buy one of your blankets?” Baoyu asks.
Baoyu speaks to a Granny (owl) about buying a blanket. Granny holds a red blanket and has a pile of blankets of varying colors beside her.
July 1, 2025 at 4:50 PM

Oh! She can get Ajax his very own blanket! Then he can always feel brave, even if Baoyu and Baba aren’t around to help him.

Baoyu sets off towards the harbor’s shops in search of the softest blanket she can find. There are lots of shops selling many things, but no blanket shops in sight!
Baoyu walks through the Harbor. Ajax and Xiao run around the harbor in the background, looking for Baoyu but not seeing her. Ajax: "Baoyu!" Xiao: "Meimei..."

And there at the top are the grassy patches filled with Mama’s favorite flowers. Baoyu picks a handful. Baba will love them!

Ajax’s gift is a little harder. What could Baoyu get him that reminds him to be brave?

Being brave isn’t easy. But, Baoyu's blanket always makes her feel better.
On left, Baoyu picks flowers while Madame Ping (crane) wonders why she's alone. Madame Ping: "Baoyu? Why are you alone? Where is your Baba?" On right, Baoyu walks off, thinking about the next present. Madame Ping panics because Baoyu is suddenly gone. Madame Ping: "Baoyu? Baoyu! Where did you go?! ...I should find Zhongli...

But Baoyu can do hard things! One by one, she climbs each step. She counts them as she goes, from one all the way up to one hundred, until she makes it all the way to the top!
Baoyu climbs up stone staircases. She struggles at first, but stands triumphantly at the top.

Baba’s gift is easy: he gets Mama’s favorite flowers!

Mama’s favorite flowers grows in the grass patches just past Dr. Baizhu’s clinic up the big stone stairs.

But there are many steps up to the grassy patches where the flowers grow, and climbing those steps is hard.

Baoyu knew what she had to do: She had to find a way to make Baba and Ajax smile! With her mora in hand, Baoyu sets off into the Harbor to find what she needs. The harbor is a really big place, but Baoyu is a brave little dragon, and she can do hard things!

She’ll find a gift for each of them!
Baoyu stands in a grassy field happily carrying a coin purse, talking to herself about the three presents she's going to acquire. Zhongli and Ajax are panicked in the background, looking for her. Zhongli: "Baoyu, where are you?" Ajax: "Babobao! It's time to come out now!

One day, Baba and Ajax were feeling kind of sad. They were both really frowny.

“I miss Mama!” Said Baba.

“I’m scared!” Said Ajax.

Baoyu tried everything she could think of to make them feel better, but none of it worked!
Zhongli and Ajax look sad. Baoyu tries to cheer them up.

Once upon a time, there was a little dragon named Baoyu. Baoyu lived with her Baba and big brother, Xiao, at the top of the hill. She lived in a small house but it had lots of toys! She liked playing with Baba and Xiao Gege and Xianyun A-yi and Lumine Jiejie and Paimon and her new friend Ajax.

The ways of a warrior aren't so familiar to Childe anymore. Natlan will hone him, though, and when he finally returns home, it will be to snow instead of sun as it always should have been.
An excerpt from a fanfic, reading: “I meant to…” Childe tries to find an excuse, some explanation as to why he never mentioned her. “I was going to tell you. I just…I mean…” “It’s okay,” his mother says, squeezing him. “The first year is always hectic, especially with your first.” “She’s a cute kid,” His father says. He pushes a hand through Childe’s hair. “Got your smile.” Childe laughs, but it sounds more like a sob. “She’s got my laugh, too. But when she pouts, she looks just like Zhongli.” “When did you say you were going back to Liyue?” His mother asks. “…I didn’t.” She holds him a little tighter. “Does it ever stop? The worrying, I mean.” Childe asks. “Zhongli is with her so I know she’s fine. Zhongli is a great dad, but I…I just…” “Never stops, kiddo.” His father presses a kiss to his hair. “That’s what happens when you have kids.” “Is this what you feel when I’m not here?” He asks. His mother wipes the tears from his cheeks. “Yes, all the time.”

Childe is gone, but time goes on. Zhongli cannot rage, cannot run, cannot stop. The things he wants come second now, because Childe may be gone, but Baoyu is still here. And she needs him.
An excerpt from a fanfic, reading: It’s different now, without Childe here, but it is also exactly the same. There are nights when he wants to take off, to raze mountain, to tear open the earth, to rip apart Teyvat itself just to feel something other than that cruel ache in his heart. But Zhongli knows that this time must be different. This time, he cannot rampage about the mountains as he pleases, he cannot lose himself in that storm, he cannot run from his grief. There simply isn’t time for that because this time, there’s someone else who needs him. This time, he has Baoyu, but she doesn’t have anyone else. So, Zhongli carries on. He makes his tea and makes her bottles. He cuts fruit and makes outings into the Harbor. He does his terrible Mr. Duck voice and tucks Baoyu into bed. He cries by himself, when no one is there to see. And then he wakes up, and does it all over again.

An excerpt from a fanfic, reading: The sharp edges of hope press against his skin, cutting deep deep scars into his heart. Rook is all but lost to the Fade, the dagger doesn’t work, Lucanis already buried his belief at Tearstone Island, but Spite holds on. He can’t stop hoping—won’t stop. He makes Lucanis go out and look. He makes Lucanis believe, no matter how much it hurts. “Lucanis? Neve asks. No, is what he should say. Because it’s insanity to keep looking when nothing has worked and the world is at its end. “…I’m—we are going to find her,” is what Lucanis says. Because what if Spite is right? What if there’s some smally, miniscule chance that they’ll find her if they just look hard enough? His heart bleeds as he speaks, hope piercing him like a dagger. “There has to be a way.”

Do you really think Rook of all people would take a break from saving the world for dress fittings?” Viago glances at him over his shoulder. “Who knows? She was willing to take a break to make out with you in the rain for an hour.” Lucanis chokes on air. “Did you send people to spy on us?” “Spy? No. But Talons, especially the First Talon, do have their own security detail. For your safety.” “Safety. For a master assassin. Right.”

With that jewel?” “Ah, yes!” Teia smiles. “He returned to Treviso with a completed contract, a giant emerald, and a limp!” “I’m begging you to stop.” --- “So…we’re not doing this?” Lucanis asks. There’s a pang of disappointment, but it’s undercut by a strange wave of calm. “Oh no,” Neve says. She hops off her desk to gather some of the papers that were knocked aside. “I’m not getting in the middle of…whatever you and Rook have going on.” “There’s nothing going on.” Neve laughs. “And that’s the problem, isn’t it?”

An excerpt from a fanfic, reading: Perhaps he should just say something; let her break his heart now instead of waiting until he’s too far gone. Better now than in the middle of trying to kill a god. Better now when they have a moment and he’s certain that it’s just a crush, than wait until he has actually, truly, wholly fallen in love. He reaches forward, reaching for the hair that’s fallen into her face. Gently, he brushes his fingers across her cheek and tucks her hair behind her ear. Lucanis has every intention of telling her, of just saying it to get it over with, but then she looks up at him with those big shining eyes and she smiles at him with that gentle warm smile. She leans into his touch, leans closer to him as she continues to read. She steals his breath away, and the words he was going to say are lost to the sound of starlight.

It's Baoyu's birthday!!

And Childe is nowhere to be found.
An excerpt from a fanfic, reading: “Good morning Baoyu,” Zhongli tells her, picking her up. He presses a kiss to her cheek. “Happy Birthday.” “Ba bam mam mmm!” She tells him, once she’s settled back in his arms. “Indeed,” Zhongli replies, already making his way back to the kitchen. “Breakfast sounds like a wonderful idea. He glances into Childe’s room as he passes it, but the door is open and the room is empty. Zhongli smiles, shaking his head. He won’t be surprised when Childe returns later with another armful of presents or a last-minute bundle of streamers to hang up. At least it seems like Childe had some sort of breakfast before he left, if tea alone counts as breakfast. The tea on the stove is still hot, a pyro talisman stuck to the bottom of it, and its Zhongli’s favorite. There’s a mug sitting out for him—Childe’s is already in the sink, and there’s even a bottle sitting out for Baoyu with another pryo talisman sitting nearby to warm it up. Zhongli glances up at the clock -- 9:30. Pleanty of time for Childe to return before the party starts.
