    Summary

    The second part of this series! This can be read without having to read the first part of this series!

    Sometimes, Kaeya would wake up before the sun had rose. On these days, he'd walk the streets of Mondstadt and remember (if not relive) that fateful night his (former) brother had left him. One day, during his early morning walk, a voice brought him out of his thoughts.
    "Hey! You scared all my pigeons away!"
    "They’ll be back,” Kaeya replied.
    “But what if they don’t come back,” the boy cried, “just like my father!”
    "That’ll make the two of us then.”

    Summary

    Kaeya volunteers to be Albedo's guinea pig for his latest experiment, but things don't go as planned and he gets stuck as a cat. However, he soon learns that being stuck as a cat has its advantages - for example: Diluc is a closeted cat person and that gives Kaeya a chance to get closer to him again.

    Summary

    There had been a few times where Kaeya had been certain of his death. That night in the rain: a child left shivering and abandoned in this strange land of light and life with the weight of a world’s desperate hope on his tiny shoulders.
    The night in the rain many years later, Diluc’s broadsword held above him like a guillotine, the whites of his red eyes showing all around, delirious with fury and grief.

    That night, maybe in the rain, when he went past even his limit on death after noon and choked on his own vomit in his dark and lonely room until he whited out.

    Two were good reasons. Worthy reasons to die. The third was at least the product of something he loved.
    (Kaeya always loved the things that hurt him the most)

    But this? Dying in this gods forsaken blizzard for the sake of some rich asshole’s asshole son?

    Pathetic.
