When the Heart of God was handed over and the doctor handed the potion to Wendy, Fina woke up.

"Fina!"

The doctor reminded in a good mood: "The effect of this antidote may be unbearable for Fina."

Fina belatedly looked at what Wendy was holding in her hand.

She only woke up briefly, just like a person's flashback before death. She felt a little better, and slowly returned to a stable physical condition under the maintenance of Wendy's magical power.

"Wendy..." she said hoarsely, "I don't want to die here."

What she emphasized was "here", the doctor's laboratory, the country sealed by heavy snow and bearing all her pain.

The antidote was close at hand, but Fina did not dare to judge that she would survive.

After so long, she knew very well that the doctor was almost pathologically strict about his experiments, and most of the things he said would not produce unexpected results.

And Fina is also aware of her physical condition.

Wendy hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Then let's go back to Mondstadt."

Fina's eyes moved slightly.

"Your, your divine heart..."

"It's okay." Wendy said softly, "Don't worry about me, it's okay."

The bard spoke softly, as if feathers were carefully touching the bubbles in the Sumeru rainforest. At the moment when the colorful light exploded, she could hardly distinguish between reality and dreams.

Fina was in a trance for a moment.

In this trance, I don't know how long I have been unconscious.

She felt that her eyes were starting to blur again, and the effect of the medicine in her body slowly took effect over time. Gradually, she could no longer feel the breeze flowing around her.

In front of Fina's eyes, the world was spinning and strange. Accompanied by the indescribable tinnitus, even her thinking was sluggish than before.

All the colorful dreams and memories slowly blended into a mass of indecipherable colors, and finally dimmed, gradually turning into black, white and gray light and shadow.

She was taken by Wendy. On the journey back to Mondstadt, the breeze seemed to turn into a swift light. As the time was slowly stretched, Fina felt that her life was passing by.

The toxins in the body have been eliminated by the medicine, but the exhausted body has long been unable to hold on.

The rotten apple has been roughly dug out of the carrion, and there is too little left, so it will not survive after all.

In the bizarre illusion, Fina saw the seven-day statue of the Wind God from a distance.

Fina tugged on Wendy's sleeve, and the bard put her down. The two sat next to the statue, feeling the gentle wind caressing their cheeks.

"There is room for everything." The bard's gentle voice was like the gentle breeze in the mountains, but it carried a tremor that he could not describe, and he did not know who he was speaking to, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... "

The girl didn't respond.

She shook her head slightly and said, "Gods can't reverse life and death."

The desire to live lingered in her heart, and Fina could feel how powerful the potion was, so it was obvious that no matter how much she longed for it, her body began to collapse.

The vitality that had always been held in the palm of my hand without daring to let go for a moment was suddenly cut off at this moment.

Fina felt the breeze blowing from the ground.

The sun is warm.

It’s a feeling of peace.

She suddenly remembered that she had not listened to the music Wendy composed for her.

He seemed to have said that he would play for her on the badminton day.

Now... what time is it now?

"Wendy..." she murmured to herself, with a fragility and calmness that seemed to be blown away, "can you listen to me...the music you composed for me?"

Wendy hugged her gently and said in a caring and gentle tone: "Okay."

He really wanted to say in a pretentious and light tone, "That's not possible. This is what I promised to play for you at the badminton festival. You have to wait until then in person."

But the badminton festival has passed.

The afterglow of the festival may still be lingering in some corners of Mondstadt, but the fact is that the badminton festival has passed.

Wendy felt unspeakably sad.

She might die quietly in his next blink.

Then the bard sighed.

"Okay," he said, "There's really nothing I can do about you."

He sang songs full of love.

The sound of the wind gradually faded away, Fina was silent as never before, and she closed her eyes.

If only I could meet him earlier... No, this would be enough.

——Maybe my wish has come true.

she thinks.

It's a little late, but it does seem like freedom.

The singing stopped abruptly.

"...Fina?"

There was silence, with only shallow, barely audible breathing left in his ears.

"Really..." His tone was a bit complaining, but his fingers touched her cheek with a slight tremor, just like the night they hugged each other on the Star-Zhao Cliff.

The bard leaned down and kissed the side of her face.

"[The beautiful lady is so shy, so the shy sylph can only take the initiative]... You fell asleep on the night of Star Picking Cliff, so I have to tell you again."

As her consciousness gradually turned gray, the girl's heart trembled, as if she were witnessing a sudden strong wind.

*

Behind the Seven Heavens Statue, the big tree was suddenly stirred and made a rustling sound.

The strong wind elemental power gathered at a certain point, and then slowly fell.

Under Wendy's gaze, a sparkling... eye of God was caught in the wind.

The birth of the God's Eye seemed to mean something. It swayed in the air a few times, and then slowly fell into the arms of the girl who closed her eyes.

--small theater--

About the Eye of God:

Fina has an extraordinary persistence in "surviving".

First it was because of the demon scale disease, then it was because of the hatred wrapped in pain, and then it was because of the unwillingness to die after finally falling in love with someone.

At the last moment, she suddenly figured it out.

Perhaps some things that should not be forcibly kept should be let go naturally. Persistence will make people unable to see other things, and Fina is satisfied enough.

Listening to the bard's song, she understood that she had actually gained "freedom."

The knot that had refused to let go for many years was suddenly untied, and she would have the eyes of God.

So the words that I dared not speak out because my life was in danger finally got a chance to be spoken to.
