    Summary

    Life is rough. Family is rough. Hardship zeroes in on five stragglers in particular—Xiao, Kaeya, Aether, Childe, and Zhongli, a group of individuals who looked at each other one day and said, “Hey, we all need somewhere to live and none of us have money. That’s, like, a whole two things we have in common. Let’s get an apartment together.”

    So they did. Five of life’s travelers, each with their own unique set of baggage. It goes well. They get along just fine. And, hey—sometimes family is you and your four circumstantial roommates, and sometimes that’s enough.

    Then, when Xiao’s health begins to spiral (because life is nothing if not unsatisfied), it doesn’t take a village: it takes a family of five and of choice. They’ll laugh through the best, plough through the worst, and they will make it.

    They will.

    (They must.)

    Summary

    He knows the arms that hold him—arms that tighten around his knees and shoulders, the bite of the wind becoming sharper. 

    “Save your strength,” Zhongli says. There’s a rigidness in his tone, masking a deeper fret Xiao doesn’t have the mind nor will to uncover. “I do not know the depth of your wounds. Be still.”

    Xiao doesn’t see why not, and even questions seem a futile effort when there’s no hurry to find the answer. He lets his head loll into Zhongli’s shoulder, and trusts.
