[Genshin Impact] As If We Were Face to Face

My dear,

I hope this letter finds you well. I suddenly felt like writing you a letter, and I hope you won't find it strange.

We met three thousand years ago and became allies who stood by each other, the most important of companions. Not long ago, we became lovers who vowed to spend our lives together. In all that time, apart from those two periods of slumber and that journey, I've never felt the distance between us so keenly.

It embarrasses me to admit it, but though we've been apart for only a few days, my longing for you has grown wild in my heart like weeds: impossible to burn away, always springing back. Before long, those weeds of longing had wrapped themselves around my whole heart, and I could no longer break free.

Strangely, these feelings never arise when I'm by your side. Perhaps whenever I look up beside you, I see the affection you feel for me. Surrounded by such deep affection from you, I could never feel the overwhelming longing I do now.

You may be a little surprised when you see this letter.

I have never been very good at expressing my feelings, yet here I am, writing such an unabashedly direct letter.

But when I'm tormented day and night by the ache of missing you, a letter is all I have to convey my feelings. When I think of it that way, perhaps it makes perfect sense after all.

It's a shame I'm not by your side right now. If I were, one look at you would surely dispel all this longing. Perhaps I, as your lover, can be a little more greedy and ask you to hold me in your arms, to ease this ache? Sadly, for now, I'll have to leave that embrace on credit. When we meet again, I hope you'll take the initiative and repay this debt.

I've enclosed a painting with this letter. I hope you can share this beautiful sight with me through it, as if we were walking side by side.

Your lover,

Jiumin

This is the second part of I, Cosplaying My Original Character, Arrived in Teyvat from Genshin Impact.

It's written in letters, so updates are very, very slow. Letters should sound formal, and I need to think carefully about the wording. A lot of the content also comes from later parts of the game, so I have to wait for Mihoyo to release it before I can write about it.

The cover was drawn by the group's mascots, Wuwu and Yuxi. It's based on Jiumin's design, which differs a little from Deloria's alternate design.
