How Can Scaramouche Live Without You? [Genshin Impact]

Zimu was once a god from another world, the only one among many cruel and merciless gods who treated the people kindly.

But the divine tower burned down, and his people abandoned him. In a single night, he lost everything he cared about.

During his long years of wandering through the universe, he picked up a fragment of emotion that had pierced the barrier between worlds and glimpsed the shadow of a puppet.

The puppet had been discarded by the god who created him. His life was full of twists and hardship, and he had never once known a god's favor.

...Look at us. We are so alike, betrayed by those we never wronged.

Perhaps an obsession had pierced the barrier between worlds, and someone wished to make spilled water flow backward, to turn falling sand back around.

And so he was no longer himself.

...The Wanderer had wondered: if the person he was now could return to the very beginning, what would he do?

But he had never considered what he would do if his former self came before him.

The puppet's face was exquisitely beautiful. He lay peacefully asleep beneath the red maple tree where the Wanderer himself had once rested.

The maple leaves were still as glaringly red as before, just like Inazuma's eternal thunder.

A voice he had never heard before rode the wind. A strange traveler opened the door to the Shakkei Pavilion, and looked over with a pair of rare silver-white eyes, peaceful yet gentle.
