The next day, while everyone in Liyue Harbor was still hard at work rebuilding after the disaster, Lumine and Paimon—who had been forced to strike a deal with the Fatui "Tartaglia" the day before and return his two Gnosis—arrived together at the still-open Heyu Tea House.

If she said it didn't happen, then it didn't happen—even if it did!
"So!"

"Uncle Zhongli, the damage to the copper furnace and ritual vessels for your funeral has absolutely nothing
