"Nothing good lasts forever,” said Kaeya. “You might make it last longer by staying away and denying yourself the chance to ruin it. But all pretty flowers die eventually, no matter how hard you tried to protect it.”

“The scent of calla lilies by the waterfall, the Mondstadt stars glittering over our heads, the words I’m speaking now only because I’m drunk off this night . . .” Kaeya lifted Diluc’s hand to his lips and kissed it softly. “There will be a day where this all comes to an end. But when that day comes, I hope that these will be the things you’ll remember.”
And although Diluc’s heart nearly stilled in his chest from how it ached, Kaeya’s kiss brought it to life again, and he decided to himself that there was, for once, a truth to his words after all.
