kagihira week 2023 | day 5: memories

Bard: *Dies*

Venti: “I want to take your form so that I can always remember you, to make sure your face is forever carved into the world’s memory, so I can carry the burden of knowing you exist, of knowing the freedom you brought, of the changes you made to this world. People say that no one dies until they are truly forgotten by everyone, and it’s true- I may never have learned your name, but even so I will carry you with me to the ends of Teyvat and back, and it doesn’t matter how much I despise my reflection, how many centuries I spent agonizing over your loss, how I have tarnished your beautiful face with the weight of my sins, I will continue doing this. Because I love you, and until the winds carry me back to the primordial space where I originated from, I will continue loving you. Forever and always.”
