    Summary

    The Chief Justice, with his guardedness and meticulous planning, wouldn't have dared confess without dissecting every emotion, every potential consequence beforehand.

    And yet.

    The way Neuvillette had carried himself suggested otherwise. Like something had wrenched hold of him, something he was afraid to let go for fear of what it might bring. It dawned on Wriothesley then, as he watched Neuvillette idly fiddle with the ruffles of his sleeves, that in his hundreds of years of living, he had probably never expressed interest in anyone before.

    And that was a truly terrifying thought, indeed.

    Plagued by nightmares and increasing grief, only fond memories of Wriothesley seem to offer Neuvillette any comfort. But when Neuvillette quietly tiptoes into the Duke’s office late one evening and confesses, both find themselves faced with a choice: continued isolation or love's uncharted path.

    For those exhausted by life’s burdens, perhaps it’s only a love that can be found in each other's embrace that can offer true respite.

    Summary

    “You know,” Wriothesley says quietly, looking up at the red fabric of his umbrella above them. “I remember offering you tea the other day. And you…expressed your concern that your presence would disrupt things at the Fortress of Meropide.”

    Humming, Neuvillette looks out across the waterway.

    Wriothesley smiles and gestures to their surroundings with his free hand. “We’re not in the Fortress now, are we?”

    “No…” Neuvillette says slowly. The corners of his mouth slowly curve upward into a surprisingly soft smile. “No we are not.”

    After the events of 4.1 and Neuvillette's story quest, Wriothesley decides to make his feelings known to Neuvillette. He finds that they are not only not unwelcome, but reciprocated. Their relationship blossoms against the backdrop of Fontaine's impending crisis.

    Summary

    Neuvillette is not the fool Wriothesley must take him for. The shine on his lips. The exhaustion in his eyes. The shortness of breath when he talks too much, too fast. Wriothesley is in love, and it is killing him, as love on Teyvat is wont to do.

    He thinks he should like to find this person who has so captured and poisoned Wriothesley’s heart. He should like to mete out judgement against them for destroying such a man, noble and true.

    Perhaps Wriothesley knows that, too. Perhaps that is why Wriothesley will not speak of his tormentor.

    Wriothesley makes the mistake of falling in love.
