Thank you. But let’s get out of here.

Right...
[ oh nooo it would be so terrible if we happened to blunder into another memory... so here we go.
Accompanied by near-strangers, you make your way through the temple. Past the halls of weathered stone, you pass through a gray-walled jungle shrouded in vines and grass and bits of debris that litter the floor, following a path on the ground where footsteps have worn away the foliage. This, you know, is the path that other priestesses have walked on their pilgrimages.
At last, the final door is in sight. Beyond it is the altar where the Dragon God should lie dormant in its vessel. Here, you will perform the ritual. You will take the vessel, release the dragon from it, and offer your very life to it.
Once the sacrifice is complete, the village will be saved. However...
( ... also, the little floating particles in the air? You can 100% see them. They are everywhere. ) ]

[woooooooow eupha.... maybe she shouldn't watch the whole thing to the end, but it's very cool.
beautiful to see her confront the lie, the ruin of her entire life's purpose, but find meaning in deciding to continue to live.
it's a different journey than her own. they both put their faith in someone who let them down, but she doubts she will find a version of whatever shar is that's worth continuing to believe in, that lets her have a purpose other than...tragedy, death, just as eupha's very sexy friend said.]
...I'm glad to know it ended that way.
[even if she died eventually.]

I would hardly have doubted you.
[...]
I'm rather glad you didn't die there. But I do understand. Changing from one's purpose isn't easy.

True.
[she can understand that very well.]
But I like the purpose you chose for yourself.

I have to admit, if it isn't Shar, then I don't truly know.
Maybe it isn't.
[she'll reluctantly agree to that.]
But I think you understand... it's frightening all the same, not to know what awaits, even if what you thought would await was perilous.

[ a nod. ]
I realize that I am younger than you, and we may end up walking different paths, but if you would ever like someone to talk to about this, even if it is simply to speak of anxieties and frustrations, my door is open.
[ even more so now that her roommate is dead ig ]

Tea?
[t... but she'll nod. the vibes are sort of rancid, but she'll try to calm herself a bit.]
I would take some.

I would take some.
And it hasn't.
[agreeing. but sighing, heavily.]
Are you alright?
[agreeing. but sighing, heavily.]
Are you alright?
Has he?
[because oooh. fuck that guy.]
I don't see how we move forward with it half-unsolved. And the one who killed Zhongli was the one possessed.

It likely will, though I think not even God himself knows precisely how.
I'd like to be able to help them, though I don't know if that's something that is even possible.
[that's very sweet.]
You are younger, but I doubt that makes you less wise. Perhaps quite to the contrary. I would be happy to speak with you.
