⚠️only slight warning (roughness)⚠️

»y/n, you can go home already. I have to discuss something with this man first«
Zhongli says as he turns away from that guy  called "Childe" to you.

Childe looked a little impatient, like he wants something from Zhongli - urgently. He then looks at you, raising an eyebrow.

»First.. who are you?« the red haired guy says.

»Me? I'm y/n..«

He looks at you as if he knows you, but you definitely don't know him. Or do you? Well, at least you can't remember.

»Interesting« he says, looking at you up and down.

»Uhmm I'll get going then, hehe..« you finally say after an awkward silence - and quickly hush away. You notice that Childe's looking after you till you disappear behind a house wall.

You lean yourself against the wall with your back and slowly slide down.

"Does.. he know me? It didn't really seem like it, but.. his voice.. I'm sure I heard it somewhere already. Damn mind! Why can't you just remember what happened to you?!" You think to yourself, sitting on the ground now.

You don't want to go home yet, especially because you would just break your head over what might've happened even more. You decide to go for a walk through the hinter parts of Liyue Harbour, around the Bubu-Pharmacy somewhere.
On your way you find a lot of glaze Lily's and silk flowers and take them with you. "they'll make a good perfume!" You think.
As you reach the Bubu-Pharmacy, you wonder if they maybe have some medicine which can help you gain your memories back. So you just head up the stairs and enter it to see.. a small blue haired girl behind the counter?

»Hello? Who.. are you?« you ask, looking down.

»I..am..Qiqi...with what..can I.. help you?«

Confused you scratch your head, »Uhm, I.. just wanted to ask if you have something here which can help your mind.. remember things better, yes« you say, trying not to sound weird.

»Oh, I have.. the same problem.. I can't quite.. remember everything.. I say«

»No no I don't mean that, I..«

You don't know what to say, but then a green haired guy walks in as well.

»Hello, may I help you with something? Do you have a prescription?«

»Oh hello! I, uhh, don't know how to say that..« you stutter.

»she wants.. something... to help her remember.. things better, just.. like me!« Qiqi says, looking up from the counter.

»Oh, so something for your head?« the green haired guy looks at you.

»Yes, I mean no, not quite.. Do you have something... which may help you.. to remember something? Which you simply forgot or just can't remember?« 

»Oh, hmm, no, I don't think we have something specific like this. But I can let you know if we manage to find something for your proble-«

»No, no it's fine it's not that big of a deal!« you awkwardly say,
»Anyways, thank you two!« you add as you hush outside of the Bubu-Pharmacy again. The two, Qiqi and the green haired guy look after you.

"Oh man.. people really must think I'm weird.. what am I even doing here.." you think after you decide to head back home. Zhongli's probably already there.

As you walk back, you feel.. kind of.. followed by someone. You turn around on your way a few times just to see a shadow hushing by.
"I'm probably just imagining this. I mean who would follow me after all..." you think as you start going faster.
It's already getting dark, you're kind of scared and just want to be home soon.

But y/n... you weren't just imagining this..

A tall figure jumps out of the shadows next to you, you try to scream of fear, but the person shuts your mouth with one hand and grabs your other to pin it on your back. He pulls you off the sideway into a small alley between two buildings. He looks you into your eyes, but you can't identify who that is - it's already too dark.
You take your other free hand to try to push him away, but he simply takes this one too, pinning now both of your hands over your head against the cold wall - his other hand still covering your mouth.

»Shh..«
the person whispers in your ear.

You get goosebumps down your entire spine, fearing what is happening to you. You try to fight back, but the only thing you then see is your vision blurring out, and the tall person picking you up and taking you with him
- then, all turns black. Again.
