Summary
Venti realized something was wrong. His songs and tales came out as normal, but he found himself stumbling and having to change his wording. They would catch in his throat, threatening to choke him if he wasn’t so quick to phrase things differently. Other than a few quizzical looks here and there, no one seemed to really pick up on it.
By the time the sun sets and most people have left the area, Venti finds himself sitting on his statue's hands. He closes his eyes as a breeze comes by, and quietly he says, “My name is-I like to go by Venti.”
“I'm nothing but a simple-I enjoy playing as a Bard.”
“Melted cheese is the most deli-di-digusting thing ever.”
His brow twitches. “The one I want to see most right now is-”He cuts himself off.
“Oh no,” He mumbles, taping his lips lightly. He’s not sure if he feels amused or irritated at this predicament. “This will be a little troublesome.”
| Venti is left unable to lie after a fight near a distorted ley line |

Summary
“Venti,” Aether tries again, wetting his lips. “When Zhongli lost his Gnosis,” he says and the words are so carefully chosen that it arouses suspicion in the former Anemo Archon, “he seems to have lost something else.”
“His dignity and self-respect?” grumbles Venti, unhelpfully.
“Is he always like this?” asks Zhongli, plainly.
“Oh, you trunkless legs of stone, did I strike a nerve, did I —” starts Venti but then pointedly clamps his mouth shut. A cold chill races down his spine. “What did you mean?” he asks instead. Swallowing down a lump of nerves, Venti continues, “You know I’m always like this, blockhead.”
or, zhongli loses his memories temporarily after giving up his gnosis and the traveler brings him to mondstadt so venti can pick up the pieces. era-long misunderstandings come to the surface and venti learns the meaning of 'always'.

Summary
Venti remembers the man in the alleyway, lit almost ablaze in the lamplight. The gold in his eyes. The meteor orbiting his shoulders. His hands had been as steady as the earth, and when he held Venti, he had called him—
—a name he hadn’t heard in a long, long time.
After hearing news of Morax’s death, Venti travels to Liyue to honor a tradition that the Original Seven had long held: each time one of them passed on, those that remained would gather to drink a toast and say their final goodbyes.
He figures Morax deserves this, at the least, even if it’s a party of one. He didn’t think it would be so hard to do it alone.
Drunk, lonely, and despairing, Venti takes to wandering the streets of Liyue and stumbles upon a well-dressed stranger by the name of Zhongli, who reminds him far too much of what he’s just lost.

Summary
“I’d love to ask where you’re headed, but that feels like it’d be cheating.”
“Cheating?” A devious smile, a hint of teeth. “Are we playing a game?”
“We’ve been playing it, Kunikuzushi,” Heizou flashed him a mirrored smirk back.–
Heizou searches out his new mystery. He’s desperate to peel back the layers of facades Scaramouche has surrounded himself in.
