holy moly imagine xiao in violetevergarden trope tho 😦
hear me out, let’s say that maybe xiao met a god (the reader) who saved him from the evil god instead of rex lapis and like, after the archon war they’re presumed dead (or missing in action) without a trace of their body. their last words to xiao was “from the bottom of my heart… i love you.”
but what is love? xiao was under the influence of the evil god for so long that he no longer understands the ways of what being human is like.
and like— after the archon war, xiao has to live on trying to find an answer to what love is while protecting liyue.
i just love the anime so much 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
