    Lohen intends on tying all loose ends he has in Mondstadt before he goes.
    Various people notice his urgency, his decline, but nobody hears his cries for help.

    Or: 5 times people around Lohen are blind to his despondency and let him slip away + the one time someone is not and chases after him.

    Summary

    Over a year after the events of A Lone Star just isn’t Possible, the Astral Express is called back to Penacony to act as witnesses to an exchange of power between the Great Lineages. Unfortunately, new Stellaron Hunter Sunday has a script in his hand detailing a sabotage of the exchange and has proposed a challenge for the Family Heads: hunt down and locate the late Gopher Wood’s vault where he detailed his work with the Penacony Stellaron and how to jumpstart the still-deteriorating Dreamscape. The first one to find the vault gets total rights to the Dreamscape and gets to decide what to do with it. If they don’t play nice, who knows what Sunday will do…
    In the middle of the chaos, Robin returns home for the challenge to throw her hat into the game to revitalize her home planet’s economy, but she’s not teaming up with Sunday, nor is she allowing the Astral Express to do anything more than witness. No, Robin has a trick up her sleeve that’s bound to upset everyone up the Family chain of command.
    Sunday, meet Boothill - your new brother-in-law.

    Summary

    Varka felt his jaw tighten, but he buried the reaction before it could reach his face.

    “Here is what is going to happen,” he said, keeping his voice calm and level. “I am going to set you down, and you are not going to stab me.”

    The boy stared at him.

    Varka waited.

    The boy continued staring, darker and harder this time, as though silence itself had been sharpened into a weapon.

    Varka exhaled through his nose. “That was the part where you agreed.”

    No agreement came.

    Of course it didn’t.

    Varka glanced briefly toward the starsilver shard, then back to the boy’s face. “Fine. Since we are negotiating in silence, I will take anything that is not immediate violence as a tentative yes.”

    The boy’s eyes narrowed by a fraction.

    “Good enough.”

    Or:

    Varka finds a mint-green murder bunny abandoned on Dragonspine and, against all common sense, decides to adopt him.

    NB: Only Lohen is younger than in canon here. This is purely for plot reasons. By plot, I mean I like the thought of all the knights trying to rein in one feral gremlin.

    Summary

    In the quiet devastation following the 6.6 catastrophe—Irminsul burned, Dottore erased from the world— Pantalone, stands alone among the remnants of his husband's laboratory. He uncovers a hidden journal, penned in Zandik's true hand, that confesses a long-held love and a secret experiment: the creation of a child born of their combined flesh, a whispered wish Pantalone drunkenly voiced decades ago and then forgot. But the journal's final, sterile entry is a death certificate: "Subject Lohen deemed unviable. Disposal in the snow. No survivor." Pantalone buries the grief of a son he never knew and accepts a Fatui mission to Mondstadt as a distraction.
