…mm, there’s, like, a dozen, maybe. I wish we knew what to do for a shot at graduation. Existing in this hellscape isn’t enough, clearly! But there’s got to be something…

How do you plan to graduate?

[leaveofabsence]

. . .

I want to go home.

[420blazeit]

I kind of had a feeling… you can tell how much you love your home from how you talking about it and the care you take cooking the dishes from it.

[leaveofabsence]

Though I do not mean to sound ungrateful. There are many people I care for greatly here - yourself included. It was also my wish to be able to meet Travelers from other worlds. So that we could exchange stories and pieces and influences from our respectively worlds could live on in each other's.

I think that's definitely one of the positive things to be said about that place. I have met so many incredible people and gotten to learn about not only them, but also their homes and interests. It's been such a blast. I've also been able to show them about my world too, which, ah, reminds me... didn't I say I'd show you a memory?

[leaveofabsence]

Ah yes. You did.

Then if you are feeling up for it, I would like to see it. Your world seems very curious and so different from my own.

[ takes out her phone to play this & this for him. ] Have a look, see, for yourself.

[ There is a long silence after the last memory plays ]

I know you said you were a warrior - and clearly you are from your memories.

But your world is so unlike any other I have ever seen.

Busan is an amazing place. I… think I might be able to show you sometime. But… as you saw… it’s regularly attacked. It’s our job to keep our country safe, something I gladly did and… would still do…

I primarily fought in the mech you saw, Tokki, but I also had a gun for the rare occasion in which I wasn’t inside her. I’m a damn good shot, if I do say so myself.

You are undoubtedly an excellent fighter, and Busan is lucky to have you as her protector.

If you have the opportunity to show it to me, then please, by all means.

[ There is a slight pause though as Zhongli considers something ]

Do you plan to ever return?

[420blazeit]

[ nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. ] …that part is a little, ah, complicated. N- No, probably not, but I also have people stretched across so many different places, like Intensity and King, Raven, and even Kohime invited me back home.

[leaveofabsence]

I see. Do you wish to become a Traveler then?

[420blazeit]

I don't know. I haven't decided what I'm going to do.

[leaveofabsence]

I suppose for the moment, there is no rush. But if you ever do wish to speak of it, I would be honored to listen.

[420blazeit]

Alright. I’ll keep that in mind. You need to get anything off you’re chest while we’re here? [ since she’s said all she has to. ]
