Chaos "the m stands for mischief"

Venti!mc wakes up slowly processed her dream. "It was him... My windbloom came to visit me..." She mumbled, feeling the sleep leave her eyes as tears take their place. Full body sobs quickly leave her mouth as she fully processed her windbloom, her son, visited her in her dream. Clenching her eyes, she feels saliva leave her mouth before the tears and snot. Venti!mc is quick to grab a handkerchief and blow her nose and wipe the drool from her hands. The tears don't stop as she hears what she thinks is her windbloom talking to her, and since she's alone, she talks back out loud. The dull ache of losing a loved one is never easy.

"I miss you. I miss you so much." She sobs out, grabbing her arms and trying to control her irregular breathing. Venti!mc knew that she hadn't cried much for a while, healing was never linear. "I hate myself for not being strong enough to save you." She whispered, knowing that he'd replied with 'it wasn't your fault', and the sobs came back harder.

...Why you do this to me? Why must Venti!MC suffer? She wants her windbloom... 😭

...Wish I could hug her, she very much looks like she needs a hug. ...Maybe we can get Zhongli to go give her a hug?

Everything in Liyue who sees the interaction watches as an employee of the most popular funeral parlor being carried away by his wife. The Fatui who watched the interaction sweat as they realize that Venti!mc was being a pacifist when La Signora took the Anemo gnosis.

Childe of course laughs behind his hand as he watches Zhongli get carried away like a three pound sack of rice.

I'm just trying to imagine Zhongli's expression during all of this, lol. I get the feeling he already knew his wife was strong and he's just vibing on her.

He does start blushing a little when Venti!MC copes a feel on his ass, though- 🤣
