POV: It’s Childe’s rerun banner
“ALRIGHT, YOU LIL’ RAT, COME HOME ALREADY! YOUR CHARACTER TALES RELEASED ON MY BIRTHDAY, YOUR COLLECTED MISCELLANY WAS ON MY DAD’S BIRTHDAY, AND YOUR CHARACTER DEMO OCCURRED IN BETWEEN! HOW DARE YOU DEFY FATE!?”
“Please just come home for your birthday girl :( I want my present now.”
Defy fate? Him? Are you joking? He’s been waiting for this for what feels like an eternity now! So many other peoples stars have brightened and so many of them have received your call; yet he was stuck on the outside looking in. It was driving him crazy! Well. Crazier. Look he only got to see you during your weekly visit to the Golden House and that was nowhere near long enough!
“Cmon cmon cmon! This is taking forever!”
The harbinger crosses his arms with a slight huff at the dimness of his constellation. Finally they started to shine brighter and his usually dull eyes were set alight with excitement.
“Yes! Finally!!! Now we’re talking!”
He was a bit worried that no shooting stars were going to appear, since there had been next to none in recent months. When he mentioned it in a casual conversation with the traveler, the blonde had laughed and said ‘oh they’re saving for someone’. That left him rather confused if he was honest, but still! He was really hoping that he was the one the traveler had been meaning!
Shooting stars suddenly began streaking across the night sky, causing the ginger to break into a huge grin.
“All right now if I remember correctly, Mr. Zhongli said there should be a golden star…”
He watched as many blue stars, and a few purple ones, shot across the sky, but didn’t see a golden one.
“Hmm…… Ah! There!”
The harbinger leaned forward to touch the golden light-
-only for it to fly past him and impact a redheaded man from Mondstandt across the street, apparently on a visit to Liyue.
“…Oh you’ve got to be fucking kidding me.”
