Summary
At the height of a great war, an incident in Zapolyarny makes a renowned army general retire and he ends up living his life in seclusion on the outskirts of Qingce. After seven years of grief away from the strife and bloodshed on the frontlines, Zhongli believes that he will never find a sense of peace and normalcy in a time of discord; that is until he finds a Snezhnayan soldier on the brink of death in the wheat fields.
Zhongli has experienced and lived through hardship. A stab through his gut? Survived. A highly dangerous military operation in the middle of a harsh territory? Succeeded. But perhaps a former general's true challenge is keeping an enemy soldier safe in his house when the said soldier barely speaks any Liyuen and Teyvat Common.

A four point bullet list on probable Oni traits, by Jay Walker and Lloyd Montgomery-Garmadon
"Okay. We can figure more out. Oni are pretty resilient, right? Strong tough guys?"
"And they hate dragons."
"And they hate dragons! Lloyd, write that down." Lloyd writes it down. His whiteboard is looking better.
(Or: Jay tells Lloyd about his suspicions, and somehow the entire team becomes invested in proving the Oni Cole theory.)

Summary
After the Tournament of Sources, the ninja have time. A second, however brief, to collect their thoughts and figure out how to tackle the plethora of issues coming their way; the distance of Arin, the presence of Ras, the Five being free-
Cole had to help handle it all, with focus, guidance and the look of surety and calmness on his face, even when he felt everything. The earth was still screaming in his head, scratching at his skull, unyielding and ever-present.
Then the world starts to shake, and Cole finds himself on the floor beside his bed. He's bruised, he doesn't remember how he got there.
He's watching Sora and Lloyd train under the bright light of the sun, and then he's inside, on a couch, staring up at the ceiling with fog coating his brain, a bitten tongue, and the taste of iron in his mouth.
