And while Zhongli has had much experience with consoling those left behind, he finds himself truly at a loss to be able to comfort someone who has passed on. ]
It’s… not that big of a deal. It kind of totes came as a surprise, since, well, memory roulette and all, but… I died protecting Busan, so I can’t be mad about that.
Well I agree that your life was well lived in the protection of a home you loved, I must respectfully affirm that is indeed... as you call it "big deal."
The coming and passing of all life is very precious. And yours among them is included.
If you would allow me, might I prepare a Rite of Parting for the life that you left behind. I am quite knowledgeable on the subject as part of my previous occupation.
...ah, I... you don't have to do. [ but having some sort of ceremony might help the feelings she still has ( but pretends she doesn't ) about the entire thing. ] If you're sure it's not too much trouble, then I guess I don't mind.
Its not just the color, but… they are gorgeous. I used to have one growing out of my head, another corruption, but I managed to get rid of it by taking a dip in the holy water up in Heaven.
Not really? It was just kind of annoying, because they changed color based on my mood, so it made it pretty hard to lie to people. [ laughs. ] But I'm also not really one for wearing my emotions so openly, especially when trying to comfort somebody else. Makes it harder. Most of the corruptions I've had haven't been so bad. Minor annoyances, perhaps, but it's nothing you don't eventually get used to.
[ her smile softens. ] I usually don’t hide much, but I hate coming off as weak. Somebody that’s meant to protect has to stand strong no matter what, even in the face of danger.

It is not so different from how you protect Buscan, though I pray for a happy ending for your tale.

And your color.
I can see what attracts you to them.
