synopsis. "today, i walked alone on the beaches of the guyun stone forest and picked up several starconches along the way. i heard that they contain secrets and can be used to send messages. but when i put them to my ear, i heard no voice, just the hollow sound of the wind. no matter. the wrath of evil spirits, omens of calamity⦠and your voice. that's all i need to hear. when you're free, come talk to me about what you've heard from the starconches."
β§ β How long had you known him to know when a letter was implying to be an invitation to somewhere? Long enough, apparently. Well, it had been a bit over a year since you met him originally. But besides knowing him so well, the fact he sent a letter was already saying something loud and clear; it was the equivalent to a modern day text saying βcome over!β
And of course, you did listen to his call.
Why not? It took you forever to get to this point with him. In fact, you practically mastered forty different ways how to make Almond Tofu. Those countless amount of days you've spent trying to perfect the recipe... You hoped it would work out in the end. They always say food is the way to someone's heart, right? Although that saying was directed at those who weren't human, surely it had to work on someone that wasn't... Right?
Nevertheless, your theory played out⦠Somewhat well. It was never a surprise when he was absolutely ruthless towards you, sometimes even bringing you to tears. But instead of backing off, you continued to try cracking open his shell. As short as the conversations were, you always managed to see the good in him. You had to stay optimistic! Just because he called you a foolish human didn't mean you had to stop bringing him Almond Tofu everyday. He was just stubborn! And thankfully, you were very patient. It was only within months you noticed his behavior changing around you. Soon enough, your conversations lasted more than a sentence! It was amazing progress all around, and that only motivated you to keep going. You had to get to know this adepti no matter what. You couldn't help yourself- Something about him just screamed 'I must learn more!'
βXiao~!β You called out his name only once, kicking your feet along the sand of the Guyun Stone Forests beaches. It was no surprise that he wasn't there- It did take you a long time to prepare a treat and arrive via waverider- and there was no way he was going to allow you to catch him waiting for you to get there!
Seconds after calling out his name, you could feel a small breeze of wind ruffle through your clothing. It was a familiar feeling- Almost comforting. With a slight turn, you immediately recognized where it came from; it was a certain green haired adepti finally arriving, "You called?" He questioned you, the expression on his face seemed to be one of annoyance.
Without wasting time, you quickly nodded, a small smile creeping its way up to your features. "Mhm, I got your invitation. Now sit, sit! I have something for you.~" You hummed, motioning your head to the rock beside him, your hands hiding something behind your back. If he wasn't annoyed already, he definitely seemed so now.
A small fit of bickering began. But what did you expect? A yaksha? Sitting on a rock? He definitely wasn't the one that favored surprises either. He threw multiple retorts, and thankfully after so long, he sat himself down with a grumble. "There is no need for adepti to-" He cut himself off short by surprise, his eyes widening as a moderately sized plate of Almond Tofu was presented to his face.
βI know you donβt celebrate birthdays, and that you think they're redundant, but I wanted to celebrate you.β You spoke with a rather dominant tone, ready to argue against whatever retorts he happened to bring up next. He was going to take this plate whether he liked it or not.... But things took a turn and to your surprise, he stayed unusually quiet. Instead, silently taking the plate from your hand, which only made you raise a brow. Was something on his mind? What did you possibly do to make him so quiet?
βIs there something wrong, Xiao?β You questioned, your once stern voice turning into one of worry. You didn't mess up, right?
Rather than using words like you preferred, he only shook his head in reply, keeping his head down to the plate in front of him. β...Thank you.β He muttered after a few moments of silence, which seemed to wash your worries away immediately. It wasn't that you messed up- He was just embarrassed! Those bangs of his were definitely hiding a small tint of pink on his cheeks.
With this realization, you were upbeat once again, plopping yourself onto the rock he also sat on. While your temptation was to tease him, you strayed away from the action. Instead, you took the moment to admire the scenery- And the atmosphere itself. It was warm, comfortable. The waves across the sand and breeze on your skin brought you to pure relaxation. You hoped it was the same case for Xiao.
One second became minutes and eventually you had to break the silence between the two. You came here with multiple intentions, after all.

synopsis.Β only you make him feel this way. | playlist - tw yandere themes.
β§ Β β You werenβt sure how long you had been running for. From the way your lungs burned and how you were practically gasping for air, it was a for a while at least. Though, you werenβt sure why you were even running. You were fully aware youβd be caught no matter what choices you had made. However, the adrenaline running through your veins kept telling you to keep going, even if there was no logical reasoning involved. To be able to out run an adeptus; someone who could appear places with just a blink of the eye as soon as their name was called out? Unheard of.
After the way you made him feel there was no way he could simply let you go. He wanted you- No- He needed you. You were the only one that gave him this painless feeling. You made his karma disappear- You made him feel emotions he had never felt with anybody else before. If he wanted to keep this feeling inside him then that meant he needed you to be with him. And only him. He couldnβt risk you losing your purity being around other humans. He needed to keep you somewhere deep within Liyue, somewhere nobody would be able to find you. A safe place for only you and him alone.
βY/N~ Where are you hiding?β Xiao called out to the open with a rather scratchy voice, his golden eyes scanning the area. It was all just a game of cat and mouse and it wasnβt a surprise you were losing to it. Nevertheless, you refused to answer to his calls, instead focusing on yourself and your remaining amount of stamina you had left. You took very few breaks from running which was causing your vision to become rather spotty. You couldnβt feel your legs anymore- They were shaking and numb from however long you had run. You knew you were going to eventually black out and faint if you continued to keep this up any longer.
It was only a bit longer of running that you finally heard his voice begin to fade out into the distance- But as soon as the thought of winning this dumb game he was playing hit your head, a cold hand was already wrapping itself around your nose and mouth, cutting off any line of air you couldβve possibly got. Though, your body wouldnβt let you struggle. βIβm tired of this game you started.β Xiao whispered into your ear just as the fatigue finally caught up with you, causing you to finally drift off to sleep. It was certain this was the end of your freedom.
------------------
Opening your eyes, you quickly came to your senses and began to panic. Your eyes widening, you rapidly scanned the area. You were in some sort of closed off cave- The rocky walls and dirt flooring being some of the first things you noticed. Upon further inspection, you realized your clothes were changed and your wounds were covered in bandages. The thought of taking some of them off came to mind- Only to be stopped when you realized your wrists were cuffed and connected to a chain from the wall.
βFinally awake? Are you feeling okay?β A concerned voice took your attention, your once panicked expression changing to a glare at the anemo yaksha. He began to approach you, making you lean back into the headframe of the poorly crafted bed you sat on in. Your attempt to get away was proven futile as the chains clattered against the dirt flooring. βIβm fi-β You cut yourself off when he leaned onto the bed, only to affectionately stroke your cheek.
You could only wince, your eyes pricking with tears at the action. You slowly looked up at him, only for your breath to hitch in your throat. It didnβt take long for you to realize the specks of red splattered across his outfit, the certain smell of blood hitting your nose shortly after. You couldnβt scream, though. Not when he was looking at you with such a crazed look. Fear consumed you by the second and you could only sit and stare, slowly connecting the dots in this situation. The blood, the bedβ¦
This wasnβt just some cave.
This was somebodiesβ home.
βXiaoβ¦ Let me goβ¦β You spoke up with a shaky voice, your eyes threatening to let the tears stream down your face. His expression only turned to one of concern, βWhy? Are you not comfortable?β He countered you with a question, already showing no intention of listening to you. βNo! Of course not!β You weakly yelled, trying to shake and get him off of you which didn't seem to phase him. βWhy are you doing this?!β You sobbed, the tears that once threatened to fall now making their way down your face.
βHavenβt I told you already? I love you.β
No. No. No. This wasnβt love. You were fully aware of that. Love is supposed to give sweet butterfly feelings in your stomach, a feeling of comfort and happiness when you were around that person. Not fear and panic every time they moved an inch. This was some sort of lovesickness and you were caught up in the receiving end of it. An unhealthy obsession.
"This isn't love, Xiao." You replied between shaky breaths, wiping the tears from your face. You refused to look at him, not when he was like this. You didn't even need to look up at him to know he was upset with your words. "Isn't love?" He repeated your words, letting out a mocking scoff afterwards, "You make me feel, Y/N. You make the pain I once felt go away." Xiao continued as he began to lean further onto the bed, eventually hovering over you. He reached out his hand and grabbed onto your arm, his nails slowly digging into your skin as he only kept talking, "I got you a safe home.... Bandaged you up... Got you new clothes... And now you're going to be selfish?" You could only whimper, the tears beginning to stream down your cheeks once again, to which he only ignored.
"You're special. I'll fix you. You won't be like any of those disgusting humans."
------------------
Eventually the hours became days and days became months. Before you knew it, you were already accustomed to your new life. Sometimes you could even feel yourself believing that this was a better life for you, Xiao may have been right when he said it was dangerous out there.
Though, you couldn't let yourself go completely. You still believed there was a way out of this- You just needed to follow the set of rules you created for yourself and eventually gain his trust to the point he would let you go outside. He already let you go from the cuffs he had on you. The next plan you set was simple; get outside and find help. But it wasn't any type of help you could find- You needed someone of equal power. A human wouldn't be able to stop him.
"Y/N~ Are you hungry?"
It was a game of 'outsmart the adeptus'. Something you weren't sure if you could even do, but everyone had their flaws, right? Of course, he has been on this world longer than you. There was no surprise to that. But... He had little actual knowledge when it came to taking care of humans. For example; diet. He only gave you almond tofu because he liked it. At this point, you'd rather start eating rocks than that dish again.
You were in the middle of cleaning your room when you heard him walk in, which you abruptly stopped doing as soon as you realized he was there. Plastering a smile onto your face, you looked over to him. "Ah, yeah a bit." You lied. "Good, I've brought some almond tofu for us to share." He was convinced.
The two of you settled at the small wooden table you've always sat at, the seemingly luxurious dish presenting itself before the two of you. Despite the dread you felt, you kept that same, fake smile on your face, waiting for his cue to let you dig in. It was almost as if you were some sort of pet.
After taking the first bite, he passed the spoon over to you. That was your cue you could eat. Taking the spoon, you glanced up at him, then took your own bite before passing the spoon back to him. The same process happened back and fourth until the dish was finally finished. Now it was time to get some answers.
"Xiao... Will we ever be able to take a walk together outside? Just the two of us."
He only seemed unsure of the question. Raising a brow, he shook his head, "I don't see why you should. It's not safe." His response only made you frown and droop your head down. Silence filled the air for a moment, until you heard a sigh and ruffle of some clothing as he stood up from his seat. "Fine. For a little." It worked. You shot your head up, eyes almost sparking. "Really?" Your voice almost cracked in surprise as you stood up, already prepared to head out the door. It wasn't like you had any other clothing to change into, anyways. "You have to stay by my side." Xiao simply said before walking towards the entrance, you following shortly behind him.
As soon as he opened the door you were wincing from the brightness enveloping the outdoors. It took you a minute to adjust to the light, but eventually you were inhaling the fresh air and gazing off into the distance with great interest. Almost like an indoor cat seeing the outside for the first time. Though, it was different from what you remember. There was absolutely nothing but stretches of grass and patches water, it was almost like a desert. There was no hilichurl, slime, or even a bird in sight. How were you supposed to find help like this? Worry only began to engulf your excitement the further you stepped out with Xiao.
You finally began to construct a new plan, one that was more detailed and guaranteed to get yourself out of this situation. The first step? Get Xiao to let you outside more often. Then, you can begin memorizing your surroundings.
------------------
Tightening your grip on the glass bottle within your hand, you took a deep breath. "You ready to head out again today?" Xiao fully caught your attention. With a bright smile and nod, you followed directly behind him. This was your only chance of freedom, you couldn't mess it up.
To your convenience, the home Xiao had given you contained random leftover items from it's previous owners. Bottles, paper, bags, and other random items were hidden within the cabinets and drawers. This discovery only gave you a bit of hope for this plan to work.
You began to count the days you were able to go out. After around five months, it turned out you and Xiao would go on a walk about two times a month if you were lucky enough. Thankfully, this was just enough time to plan things out diligently.
"Xiao, can we play a game?" You asked, holding the bottle behind you as you walked beside him. "What game?" He replied, sounding skeptical about the entire idea, "Maybe like... Hide and Seek?" You suggested, glancing over to him. He remained quiet for a moment, you knew he didn't like the whole idea of letting you run off on your own. "Look, it'll be fun. I haven't been able to do something fun in a while." You pleaded, trying to convince him further. "Fine." He stopped, crossing his arms.
Now it was time for your plan to take action.
"Okay, close your eyes and count down from fifty!" You giggled, as forceful as it was, you weren't going to take any chances. He listened and began to do just as you said, giving you enough time to start running.
From the time you had outside, you were aware of a certain large body of water nearby. From the salty wind, you knew it was an ocean. Obviously, you knew this time there was no escaping let alone hiding places. You've already experienced it before- And n top of that you didn't know how far it was until there were civilization. However, that long body of water gave you hope.
The glass bottle still held tightly in your hand, you made your way to the large body of water. You listened to the wind blow and waves crash against the rocks. You knew you had to act quick. Pouring out whatever remaining water was inside the bottle you held, you grabbed a small piece of paper out from your pocket, shoved it inside, and clogged the end with a makeshift cork.
You wasted no time throwing it as far as you possibly could.
Staring off into the distance, you couldn't help but genuinely smile. Though, that small feeling of happiness was cut short when you heard nearby footsteps. Snapping your head to the side, your eyes widened. "Hello? Are you alright?" A young man spoke, from his attire it looked as if he was from the adventurers guild. Taking a step back, you covered your mouth, shaking your head. Realization sinking in faster than ever.
"No-No- You need to leave- Before-" Your shaky words were cut short, just like the life of the innocent man before you. All you could do was stare as the now lifeless adventurer fell to the ground, the masked man, your captor, Xiao, standing above him. Him and his polearm now covered in blood.
You failed to notice the tears beginning to stream down your face. Your body wouldn't move, even when it was aware of the yaksha approaching you. All you could do was sob when his hands were finally wrapping themselves around you.
"We wont be going out on anymore walks." He spoke into your ear, though it didn't make you feel any less worse than you already did. When would this dreadful nightmare end?
[11:41pm] If only he could turn back time and change his fate. That was all Teppei could think as he watched you set down the folded uniform the both of you were meant to try on together that day. His heart ached but your somber yet strong smile reminded him to remain strong for you, even if things were over. He softly let out the words "May my ambition strengthen your journey." before taking his leave to the afterlife.
[10:21pm] Eyes sparkling, heart racing, Yoimiya could only watch in awe as you ran around with one of her custom sparklers, the shimmer of its light making your features glow oh so beautifully. "Hey, are you seeing this?" Your voice pulled her out of her thoughts, "Ah- Yeah! Let's try my new goldfish fireworks next!"
synopsis.Β although the stars change, some things remain the same. | requested. β‘
β§ β Gentle winds blew throughout the air as the fire beneath your feet crackled. From time to time you would poke at the hot coals with a long stick... Just to watch as the end caught a small flame for you to put out. This happened quite a few times before you got bored of watching it happen over and over again.
Sitting beside you was a certain astrologist, an expression of great thought written across her face as she pressed at her circle of what seemed to be constellations of some sort. You didn't quite understand what she was so focused on but you didn't really mind. The fact you two could enjoy each otherβs company like this was all that really mattered anyway.
"Can't you read the stars above?" You questioned, now leaning back to look up at the clear sky that shimmered above the two of you. From your perspective you could see the wide array of stars showing themselves to the world, twinkling and sparkling as if there was nothing wrong in this world.
"I could, but this way is much more organized and easier for me to use." The black-haired girl replied in a simple manner, not touching too much on the details of what exactly she was up to. You only nodded in reply, your attention to the stars now shifting into curiosity as you glanced over to her.
What exactly was she doing? You wondered to yourself, beginning to slightly lean into the astrologist ever so nonchalantly. From what your eyes could see, it was a mix of what seemed to be sparkling constellations being shifted and changed into whatever she wanted. It wasn't long before you were mesmerized by the colors and sparkles, your eyelids starting to become heavy.
Although she seemed unbothered by the action, Mona eventually stopped what she was. After so long of sitting like this with you, she was beginning to wonder if you were actually interested in what you were doing. "What you are doing?" She questioned, though no response was given afterwards.
After a bit of observation, it didn't take her long to realize you had fallen asleep. With your forehead lazily laying on her shoulder, body awkwardly hunched over, and breathing much heavier than usual, it was generally... Rather easy to tell.
It also didn't take her long to realize just how close you were to her.
Which of course, made her a bit flustered.
Of course, she didn't have the heart to wake you. Why would she when you looked so peaceful? Taking the alternative to keep you where you were, she kept her composure as calm as possible. Ignoring the fact her cheeks were dusted with the faintest shade of pink. Judging the way you slumped over, she also wasn't going to allow you to sleep uncomfortably. With one swift movement, she adjusted your head to lay properly on her shoulder. βBetter.β She whispered to herself, content with how much more comfortable you already looked.
She quietly studied every one of your features with a certain feeling of warmth filling her chest. From how you smiled in your sleep to how the fire would flicker across your skin from time to time, she found everything about you admirable no matter what state you were in. Something about you kept her interested, even if it was another story about some slimes you ran into.
Pulling her out of her thoughts, she tensed up a bit when you began to stir from your sleep. Her head quickly snapped to look at the fire in front of you two, acting as if she wasnβt staring at you so lovingly just a moment ago. She remained quiet as she let you adjust your position to a new one she assumed you had found more comfortable. Heaving a light sigh, she could only shake her head at herself for being so flustered.
βSleep well, Y/N.β She whispered, slowly laying her head on top of yours with a hesitant yet comforting arm around you as she began to continue finishing up tomorrows astrology column. Despite all these days traveling together, things never seemed to change between the two of you.

synopsis.Β sunsets always bring new encounters | playlist
β§ β Dangling your legs over the cliff, you gazed out over the endless oceans of Inazuma. You watched as the waves violently crashed up against the cliffs of nearby islands and as the water shifted into a darker purple that contracted with the lighter purple from above. The salty winds threw itself through your hair and clothing, causing a cool breeze to take over. Sighing at the change of temperature, you failed to notice the footsteps approaching from behind.
"Isn't it getting a bit cold?" A rather familiar voice startled you, making you shift your head to meet their gentle gaze. As soon as you laid your eyes upon the white-haired man you recognized him to be Kazuha, the wandering samurai of Liyue's Crux Fleet. Although it was odd of him to be meeting you here, it was still exciting nonetheless. "Not really, it's quite cooling actually." You replied before patting the grass besides you, "Wanna join me for a bit?"
It didn't take long for you two to begin enjoying each others company. He sat himself down besides you, his legs crisscrossed with each other. There was no way he could just youβre your offer anyways. "What brings you up here?" You questioned him after a long moment of silence, your eyes not once leaving the scenery in front of you two. "I just had a feeling you'd be here," Kazuha replied, a small smile making its way onto his features, βI wanted to see you.β
It was only natural that your cheeks flushed at Kazuhas reply. Your heart beginning to pick up its pace a bit, you shifted your gaze down towards your lap. You always enjoyed your time with him and often you wondered if he did as well. Moments like these were always short due to your schedules. βHey do-β You cut yourself off as you heard a pair of footsteps approaching the two of you.
"Hi! Mind if I join you?"
The voice unfamiliar, you looked over to Kazuha who seemed unphased by their presence. "Do you know him?" You whispered, a bit startled by the stranger. Though, it seemed the stranger had heard you due to his response sounding a bit disappointed, "I'm an old friend, has Kazuha not told you about me?" The stranger furrowed his brows and crossed his arms as he approached the two of you further.
"His name is Scaramouche, he's an old friend of mine. Don't feel alarmed." Kazuha was quick to introduce the navy haired man to you, comfortingly patting you on the back as he did so. You untensed at the gesture, giving a slight nod as you put your trust in the samurai. You could only glance up at the unfamiliar individual.
"Isn't the scenery lovely?" Scaramouche was the first to speak, though you weren't sure if he was attempting to start simple chit chat or give his commentary on the scenery. "It is. It reminds me of back then" Kazuha replied, glancing over between you and Scaramouche, "We should meet up like this more in the future."
You felt a hand pat- Or rather shove your back a little too harshly, causing you to gasp and jolt back away from the edge you currently sat on. Now stiffly leaning back, adrenaline rushing through your veins, the embarrassment only crashed heavier than ever when a burst of laughter filled the air, βOh, youβre funny!β Scaramouche exclaimed, looking over at Kazuha, βI wouldnβt be opposed to that idea.β
Scoffing, you pushed yourself back so you weren't so close to the ledge any longer. After that stunt he pulled you for sure didn't have any trust the navy haired man nor did you feel safe. "Why? So you can pull another stunt like that on me again?" You questioned him with a rather irritated tone, which only seemed to entertain him further.
It wasn't long before the two of you began to bicker about anything and everything, Kazuha simply enjoying the small show with small input from time to time. The time passed quickly and the purple hues of the sky began to fade through darker and darker shades. As time passed, the comfort the small group found in each other only seemed to grow. Minute by minute as the flying crows disappeared, a stronger friendship began to grow between the three of you. Once the galaxy showed itself across the raging waters it was certain you three would be stuck together for a lifetime.
synopsis. from the catβs tail: please stop falling asleep in our tavern.
β§ Β β It was uncertain if the customers continued coming back for the cats or for the drinks. To Dionaβs dismay, it was most likely always the cats. She would watch as customers came in, chirping and calling at the cats that laid around the tavern. They were always so excited to see the cats but what about the drinks?! This was a bar! Sure, Roger, Nelson, and Paisley were all pretty cute in their own ways... But no matter how spoiled they all were, this is a tavern, not a cat hangout!
. . .
The atmosphere of the tavern was always warm and friendly. With a few cats begging for a little bit of attention from every customer that entered, you could say it was pretty welcoming as well. Drunk or not, people were never upset within this particular building. There was always laughter and occasional meows filling the place, never once has there been a fight.Β
Cats ran to rub against your ankles, laughter and shaking bells of cat toys filled your ears, and a short bartender with puffed cheeks standing behind the counter. Everything was as expected when you chose to visit. Other than the new batches of drinks every week, nothing really changed around here. To you, this place almost felt like a second home.
A gentle smile painting itself over your features, you leaned down to pick up the cat that sat meowing at your ankles, making sure to hold it securely beneath its back legs so it didnβt feel frightened or uncomfortable.Β βRoger sure is cuddly today, isnβt he?β You hummed with a chuckle as you made your way to the counter, quickly picking a stool to sit with the cat.Β
βWhen isnβt he?β The young bartender huffed, crossing her arms with a flick of her tail.Β βRoger is always begging for attention! Just look at him!β The girl pointed at the striped male cat that was now curled up on your lap, kneading his paws into nothingness as he looked up at you with a loud purr emitting from him. A sigh could only escape her lips at the sight. You only laughed, stroking the cats head fondly.
βOh yeah! Y/N, you got that letter from the Catβs Tail too, right? You better not be planning to come fall asleep here again!β The girl unnecessarily worked herself up, glaring at you with her icy blue eyes. Was she trying to be intimidating...? It wasnβt working too well for her.Β
It took you a minute to remember the short, almost illegible hand-written letter than was sent to you a few days prior to this visit.Β βAh, yeah the one you wrote about falling asleep in the tavern, right?β The young girlsβ cheeks puffed out, her ears flattening against her head as her fury grew,Β βIt wasnβt me that wrote it! It was Margaret!β She retorted against you, only gaining a stifled chuckle from you.Β βMhm... What can I say? You just run this place so well, the atmosphere makes me sleepy.β Before irritating the girl more, you were quick to switch things around,Β βBut yes, I did, and sorry about that, Diona. I will try to avoid falling asleep in the tavern.β You glanced up to Diona from the purring cat, quickly taking note of Dionaβs satisfied expression.Β
βAnyways, are you going to order something? This isnβt some cat hangout, you know!β Diona stuck a hand on her hip as she spoke to you once more, something about the tone of her voice making it obvious she wanted to make something for you.Β βI heard you have a new non-alcoholic drink, something... Sparkling tea...?β As soon as you said non-alcoholic, the girls face turned sour.Β βNon-alcoholic drink in a bar? You do remember youβre supposed to have alcohol here, right?β Diona could only stare at the counter as she processed things, a smallΒ βhumphβ of frustration escaping her lips as she turned around to begin grab things from the shelves.
You remained quiet during her little moment of confused frustration, instead letting your attention shift to the small grey cat that wanted to hop away and leave. You allowed him to do what he want, watching him hop down and begin to meow at a new customer that entered the building. Now, feeling a bit empty with the lack of a purring cat, you finally decided to lay across the counter, your head being comfortably supported by your arms.
The shaking of the mixer, the clanking of glasses, and the mellow laughter of customers mingling with the cats all began to slowly blend together. It wasnβt long before your eyes began to slowly shut and you began to once again doze off within the tavern.Β
βYour dri- Hey! No! Wake up! I said no falling asleep here! Wake up!!β
