Mondstadt's dawn broke over the Teyvat Internet Cafe, bathing the 300 rigs in a soft golden haze as the last echoes of Red Alert faded, Diluc rose from his station, his pyro gaze lingered on the nuclear blast's replay, "steel melted, shockwave leveled," he murmured, "one percent of real power," his awe a quiet ember in the cafe's stillness.
He stretched, "five o'clock," he noted, "self-control slipped," he frowned at his all-nighter, "came to probe, stayed to play," his reflection stung, "Mond needs me sharp," he resolved, waved to Liam, "Angels Gift sometime," he offered, "guard down," he trusted, the cafe's neon glow a backdrop to his departure.
Liam grinned, "Diluc's iron," he mused, "left early, work first," he admired, "unlike most," he glanced at lingering players, "Jean's greener," he compared, "cat hunts waste her," he sighed, "Knights flail," he pictured Diluc leading, "Mond thrives then," his Sharingan flickered, Teyvat's pulse stirred around him.
He pondered, "shifts drag," he decided, "eleven close," he set, "night owls stay," he planned vending machines, "snacks, noodles," he listed, "rest for us," he eased Ayanami Rei's load, "games later," he smirked, "doctor's mess," he recalled, the cafe's hum softened with his new rhythm.
Zhongli's wrath flashed in memory, "ambush crushed," Liam nodded, "Liyue base razed," he recounted, "doctor boxed," he grinned at the slice's fate, "Morax guards," he trusted, "Hu Tao's safe," he relaxed, "Rock Lord rages," he marveled, Teyvat's bedrock a shield against the Fatui's schemes.
Sunrise beckoned, "statue top," Liam bolted, "lottery now," he climbed, "emotion points burn," he itched, "spend or bust," he perched on Barbatos' hands, "Fools loom," he feared, "executives spike," he recalled rumors, "half step gods," he shivered, Mondstadt's winds whispered around him.
He drew, "ten pulls," he tapped, "attack, all round," he chose, "junk floods," he groaned at figures, "hairspray flops," he tossed Aizen's can, "Murloc Karate," he shrugged, "Meteor shines," he choked, "gold five star," he stared, Teyvat's dawn gleamed with his fleeting dread.
Liam clutched the card, "one life strike," he recalled, "kingdom's savior," he pictured, "Zhongli falls," he weighed, "insurance fits," he pocketed, "no suicide," he sighed, "throw and win," he resolved, "next draw," he pressed, the statue's stone cool beneath his tense grip.
More pulls flashed, "cosplay junk," he ditched Fei Yuqing's set, "gaming chair," he shrugged, "Accelerator lands," he gasped, "gold again," he marveled at the vector template, "evil redeemed," he mused, "power absolute," he grinned, Mondstadt's sky flared with his rising might.
He tested, "vector shift," he touched the air, "wind bends," he spun a gale, "120 meters," he clocked, "tornadoes roar," four whirled behind, "flight kicks," he soared, "jets chase," he outpaced, "plasma brews," he compressed heat, Teyvat's winds bowed to his unleashed force.
Action flared, "Hilichurls below," he spotted, "vector slam," he dropped, "ground cracks," kinetic force erupted, "five ash," he smirked, "blood twist," he grazed one, "vessels burst," it fell, "reflect on," he blocked clubs, "untouched," he stood, Mondstadt's wilds a stage for his brutal dance.
Liam landed, "Dante outclassed," he judged, "combat dull," he sighed at Accelerator's flaws, "raw power wins," he flexed, "ten thousand degrees," he pictured plasma, "earth slows," he recalled rotation grabs, "god tier," he grinned, "Fools quake," he vowed, Teyvat's dawn a canvas for his bold leap.
Dialogue sparked, "vector rules," he told Ayanami Rei, "shifts all," she nodded, "nuke tops," he added, "Meteor kills," she tilted, "one shot," he confirmed, "Fatui next," she mused, "crush them," he grinned, "cafe grows," their words wove plans, the rig's glow framed their quiet pact.
A subplot twisted, "doctor's tech," Liam linked, "nukes echo," he feared, "Fatui climb," he traced, "executives plot," he narrowed, "Zhongli warned," he recalled, "bases hide," he hunted, "vector finds," he aimed, Teyvat's underbelly a web for his growing hunt.
He soared, "city scan," he flew, "winds guide," he traced, "Fatui whisper," he caught, "south edge," he dove, "camp sparks," he spotted, "vector strike," he slammed, "tents shred," air roared, "five down," he smirked, Mondstadt's outskirts a battlefield of his swift purge.
Action surged, "agents swarm," guns blazed, "reflect back," he twisted, "bullets ricochet," foes fell, "fire bends," he redirected pyro, "blasts turn," they burned, "wind crush," he compressed, "lungs burst," ten dropped, Teyvat's wilds trembled with his relentless might.
Emotion swelled, Liam's thrill surged, "power fits," his Sharingan blazed, Diluc's awe lingered, "nukes teach," his pyro stirred, Mondstadt's hope flickered, "cafe binds," their saga shook Teyvat, "Fools fall," Liam's resolve hardened, "vector reigns," his heart raced in the dawn's embrace.
He returned, "statue perch," he settled, "draws done," he sighed, "Meteor waits," he pocketed, "Accelerator rules," he flexed, "Fatui quake," he grinned, "cafe rests," he eased, "Traveler nears," he sensed, Teyvat's winds a chorus for his towering strength.
Liam smirked, "gods bow," he mused, "Teyvat shifts," he vowed. Ayanami Rei watched, "shift holds," her red eyes calm, "might grows," the cafe's pulse steadied, "Fools fade," Zhongli's echo loomed, "rest later," Liam's dawn a blazing oath, Teyvat's wilds and LAN a dual fire in his bold stride.
