( they return home and things resume: otegine with his mission, and lumine... lumine gets voted number one suspect for murdering a god, which is incredibly ironic. she'd laugh if she wasn't so tired. but she gets out of trouble and then back into it neck-deep and by the time paimon excitedly tells her that her 'vone' is buzzing, lumine's sat on the docks looking over ningguang's sacrifice and what's come of it.
her body aches- even before their return home, there was little time to rest. there'd been so many fights both on and off the uneasy roads, both in japan and in teyvat, and she's weary for it.
