Summary
Zhongli’s smile is gentle. “We have lived long; that is true. Change does not move us the same way it does for humans. We dwell on the past rather than live in the present.” He reaches out a hand, places it on top of Xiao's own. The warmth of it feels foreign. “You have served your duty to Liyue a hundred times over, fulfilled your contract, and now this land is ready to stand on its own. It is time for you to find your own path.”
“If you wish,” says Xiao.
“No,” Zhongli says firmly. “You do not need to do anything for my sake anymore. I am nothing but a mortal. You are your own master now.”
(After the events in the Chasm, Xiao explores what it means to be human.)
