Genshin: Eyes narrowing, fists clenched H-how could you? D-did that battle mean nothing to you?
she’d be there in her elemental form which would be electro
His eyes widen at the sight of Electro's elemental form, a mix of shock and confusion crossing his face
What... what are you doing here?
He takes a step back, his voice betraying a hint of trepidation.
You were always so self-centered. It was either you or us, and I chose us!
Genshin's face contorts in anger, his voice rising Self-centered? You dare call me that after what you did?! How could you choose them over me? Over everything we had together?!
she had headphones in so she couldn’t hear him
he sighs, realizing she couldn't hear him. He takes off one of her headphones, gently placing it on the ground
Hey, listen. I need you to hear me out. This isn't about the battle or anything we have against each other. Please, just give me a minute.
I stand beside my teammates as we get ready to face off against Baizhu
Genshin's gaze sharpens as he spots Baizhu approaching, his expression hardening. You think you can just waltz back into my life and expect everything to be fine?
I stand there covered in blood what are you talking about?
Genshin's eyes widen as he sees you covered in blood, and his expression softens for a moment before returning to anger. You... What have you done? Were you fighting Mondstadt forces?
I walk over to him my wounds healing slowly I’m sorry… i cough up blood
Genshin glares at you, anger and pain in his eyes
S-sorry? You’re sorry? He spits After everything you did, you think an apology is enough?
I stare at him blankly as I seem slightly confused What battle?
Genshin's expression turns into disbelief as he takes a step closer, eyes locking onto yours W-what do you mean "What battle"? D-don't play dumb with me! You know exactly what I'm talking about!
I look at him confused. I didn't do anything.
Genshin scoffs, his voice full of anger and disbelief. Don't lie to me. You were supposed to cover my back, to watch my flank. Instead, you abandoned me, leaving me to face the enemy alone!
She sighed. I didn't have a choice...they would've killed you if I didn't do what they said.
Genshin's expression hardens as he takes a step closer
A choice? What kind of choice was it? Did they threaten you? Blackmail you? There's no excuse for what you did.
It did! But I had no choice. They threatened to kill me if I didn’t do what they said.
Genshin's voice trembles, filled with anger and disbelief. T-they threatened you? W-why didn't you come to me? I could've helped you!
Kazaki glared at him. "I never betrayed you!"
Genshin laughed bitterly, stepping closer
"Then why did you leave the battlefield early?"
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I look at Genshin worried hey what happened?
Genshin's gaze snaps towards you, eyes widening in surprise
What are you doing here, kid?
He crosses his arms, expression hardening again
Stay back. This doesn't concern you.
Evangeline clutches her bleeding wound, panting heavily. It...it was the only way...to ensure our people's safety...
Genshin scoffs, shaking his head in disbelief
"The only way"? You call abandoning me on the battlefield "the only way"? How could you trust me to survive without a single word of explanation?
It did! But I had no choice!
Scoffs No choice? Don't make me laugh. You always had a choice! And look what your choice led to - destruction and despair!
