sakura: where

[leaveofabsence]

Glaze Lily: Come meet me in the lobby.

[gravitydefier]

sakura: fine

[and he will, in fact, go to the lobby. dressed like this.]

[leaveofabsence]

[ It takes him a moment to find him.

And the pause is very noticeable once he does --- as if Zhongli is being particularly careful to not say anything impolite. ]

[gravitydefier]

[well, at least Xiao wouldn't care if he did.

and makes a quiet, questioning noise.]

[leaveofabsence]

Sakura.

[ And he makes his way over ]

I was concerned when I could not find you. Nor did it seem that you had returned to Taisho.

[gravitydefier]

It was...unexpected. [understatement.]

[leaveofabsence]

Are you all right?

[gravitydefier]

I wasn't hurt to begin with.

[#nailed it.]

[leaveofabsence]

Still. Being uprooted from what you know without any warning could not have been a pleasant experience.

[gravitydefier]

My failure was likely more unpleasant. [because clearly he failed??? at being useful to Taisho???]

[leaveofabsence]

And what failure was that?

[gravitydefier]

Why else would they have moved me, if not for...failing at being of use to Taisho.

[leaveofabsence]

Sakura...





What about this situation is logical and for the best of the people or units performing?

[gravitydefier]

...I don't know.

[nothing, as far as he can tell.]

[leaveofabsence]

Then it seems highly unlikely that you were transferred for a logical reason.

Unless you consider ratings logical - which I do not.

[gravitydefier]

...I do not.

[leaveofabsence]

Then do not blame yourself for why you were transferred.

There is yet any evidence that your actions played a part in that decision.

[gravitydefier]

[just kind of tilts his head, blinking.

???]

[leaveofabsence]

Sakura.

What is your opinion of the producers?

[gravitydefier]

...masters of cruelty.

[leaveofabsence]

I would agree. Wouldn't it be more likely that you were working too well on your unit before then? Instead of not doing enough.

[gravitydefier]

I don't know. Taisho never...talked to each other.

[leaveofabsence]

... They did not?

[gravitydefier]

No. Only...rarely.
