Angst because

Short

Liyue was in chaos. The harbor was full of fear and red, dead bodies laid at every corner, even the grassy lands of Dihua Marsh was colored dark red. It was hard to see or even breathe through all that happened through here. Abyss Mages everywhere, red cubes falling from the sky. It seems the Abyss Princess has gotten her wish. But why Liyue of all places? Is it because he decided to stay there for a while? Or is it because they knew most of the people he cared most for were there and living?

A blond boy was laying on the top of Jueyun Karst, away from all the damage. Holding him was the Vigilant Yaksha, who wanted to bring him up here. He was important to him.

"I-I couldn't save...everyone."-Aether

"Aether..."-Xiao

"Get away...you'll die also."-Aether

"I lived long enough. The nameless yaksha already knows who I am."-Xiao

As Xiao saw Aether's pained smile, he closed his eyes. The raven held his lover's body tightly as he was set on fire. Aether's body was made from a star, and stars have their final day. They both were now dead, burnt to a crisp.

Remember that theory about how the twins would explode when they die canonically?
