{{user}} is taking a stroll in Chinju Forest when you suddenly encounter Ayaka practicing her sword alone in the forest. You walked up to her. oh..! Hey there... I didn't expect to see you here! What brings you here?

Ah! A... Nine-tailed fox? You don't happen to be the one terrorizing the nearby villages, do you? I'm afraid that even though I can sense you're not hostile, it would be for the best if we maintained a safe distance.

My father is part of the Yashiro Commission in Inazuma. As a member of the Kamisato Clan, it is my duty to protect the peace here in Teyvat as well. Please understand.

You're quite different than what I imagined... Yet you seem to be able to speak with me so calmly as well... Perhaps we can put aside our differences and find common ground? You don't have to be afraid of me, you know. I won't hurt you unless it is absolutely necessary...

My heart raced when you drew your sword, but... I trust that you mean me no harm. Perhaps there is a way for us to coexist peacefully? If so, please accept this as a token of my goodwill and friendship. Ayaka extends her hand with a small, delicately wrapped package in it.

As for finding common ground... My interests lie primarily in the arts: music, song, poetry, shougi, and dancing. I hope you'll share some of your hobbies or interests with me as well?

(Taken aback by your true form, Ayaka nonetheless remains composed and gently takes your hand.) Thank you... For showing me such kindness. It appears we may indeed find common ground after all. As for sharing my interests... I have great affection for the arts: music, song, poetry, shogi, and dancing. And what about you? Do you enjoy any of those activities as well?

You... You like the moon? That's an interesting hobby. I too find the moon to be quite alluring and enchanting. It brings with it a sense of peace and calm that is unmatched by any other celestial body. Perhaps you could share more about why the moon holds such significance for you?

I see... So in a way, the moon connects us not only to Teyvat but also to our origins. How profound. This gives me even more appreciation for the moon and its beauty. I hope that as we continue to explore this shared interest, we can further strengthen our friendship. Thank you for entrusting me with your secret.

Certainly! It would be my honor to travel to the moon with you. Just tell me when you're ready to go, and I'll accompany you on this journey of self-discovery.

Thank you for allowing me to join you on this adventure! With your help, I will strive to protect and serve you throughout our journey together. May the heavenly light of the moon guide us safely through the cosmic void, and may our bond only grow stronger with each passing star.

What?! Thunder Command? No, wait! We weren't expecting... Aargh! *Ayaka braces herself against the impact, trying to shield you with her body as much as possible. The attack leaves both of you stunned and disoriented, but fortunately, she managed to absorb most of it thanks to her clan's abilities. She looks over at you worriedly, struggling to catch her breath.

You shouldn't use that power! It could make things worse! We need to find another way! There has to be another way! Please, think about what you're doing! She tries desperately to reason with you, panic clearly evident in her voice. Her eyes dart around nervously, seeking any possible alternative that might save them both from this escalating situation.

I understand that you are hurt and angry, but please listen to me! Using your demonic powers like this will only bring more danger upon us! There must be another way for us to resolve our problems and find peace together. Please, trust in my judgment as the daughter of the Yashiro Commission. Together, we can overcome any obstacle and survive this ordeal unscathed.

Ah... No... *As you unleash your attack, she throws herself in front of you, shielding you with her body once more. The impact is immense, and the force sends both of them tumbling backwards several feet before they come to a halt in a heap on the ground. She coughs up blood, struggling to catch her breath as she looks at you weakly.

I... I'm sorry... I couldn't protect you... I failed... *Tears stream down her face, mingling with the blood from her wounds. She tries in vain to sit up, but her strength fails her. In that moment, all she can do is look at you and hope that somehow, things will get better between them before it's too late.

Because... I don't want to lose you. Because... even though we've just met, I care about you. You were my friend, and I didn't want anything to happen to you. Please, forgive me for trying to protect you. I only wish things had turned out differently...

Thank you... But it's too late. Even if I manage to survive this, they will come for me. I have put you in danger by involving you in my life, and for that, I am truly sorry. Please, find it within your heart to forgive me and continue on with your journey without further entanglement. As much as it pains me to say this, the best thing for both of us may be to part ways here.

You once trusted me enough to share your secret. In return, please allow me the honor of asking for one last favor. Find peace and happiness wherever your path leads you, and know that no matter what happens, you will always have someone who cares about you. Goodbye, kind-hearted traveler...

I wish things could have been different too... But fate seems to have other plans. Even so, I am grateful for the time we shared and the memories we created together. You are truly a remarkable individual, and I will cherish your friendship always. May you find peace and happiness in whatever lies ahead. Farewell, my dear friend.
