==Dialogue==
===Yun-Han Opera Troupe in Crisis===
;(Go to Liyue Adventurers' Guild)
: Yunning: Can't you send someone any sooner? The clock is ticking and I need this resolved ASAP!
: Katheryne: I'm sorry, but we don't have any adventurers available at this instant...
: What's happened?
: Katheryne: Ah, , your timing is most optimal. Allow me to introduce Yunning, manager of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe. She has commissioned the Guild to—
: Yunning: ...? Ah, Yun Jin is always talking about you. Please, you've gotta help us !
: Yun Jin is missing?
: Yunning: Yep, she's gone and disappeared. Now, of all times, just days away from the big performance. All she left was this short note...
::Beautifully-Written Note:
::To Whomsoever Finds This Letter:
::  
::After some discussion about the "Divine Maiden" play with my friends, I find that there is still much to learn indeed. I have gone to Lingju Pass in hopes of gaining some inspiration.
::I will return within the day, so do not worry.
::  
::Yun Jin
: Yunning: If our audience doesn't get to see Yun Jin on stage, they'll start tearing the place down... I mean, what am I supposed to do, huh?
: She literally said she would come back...
: Katheryne: That's what I said, too, but—
: Yunning: Look, when you're a megastar like Yun Jin, you gotta start taking things a little more seriously. Saying she'll be back doesn't give me a whole lot of reassurance when she's showing no regard for her own safety.
: Yunning: Why does she have to go and practice somewhere so dangerous? What if something happens to her? What am I going to tell the audience!?
: Worst-case scenario, she still has a Vision...
: I'm pretty sure her life is not at risk here.
: Yunning: Well then... what if she gets into a scrape and hurts herself? If she gets so much as a scratch, it'll be a loss to the whole nation!
: Katheryne: *sigh*... As you can see, , this is what we're up against.
: Katheryne: Would you be willing to accept this commission?
: Okay. For Yun Jin...
: Okay. For Liyue...
: Yunning: Wonderful! Oh, thank the stars... Please, you've gotta bring her back, safe and sound!
;(Talk to Yunning again)
: Yunning: I'm counting on you to bring my top talent back to where she needs to be.
----
;(Head to Lingju Pass to look for Yun Jin)
: Yun Jin: ...
: Monster attack!!!
: Get out of the way!
: Yun Jin: ...
: (...I guess I'm taking this fight!)
----
;(After the battle)
: Yun Jin: ...
: Are you alright?
: Yun Jin: Mmm...
: Are you hurt?
: Yun Jin: ...Oh.
: Yun Jin: It's you, !
: Yun Jin: I do apologize, I didn't see you there.
: ...Seriously!?
: Yun Jin: What brings you all the way up here, ? Oddly enough, I was just thinking of scheduling a meeting with you later...
: Yun Jin: I didn't expect to run into you here, of all places.
: Your manager sent me.
: I heard you went missing...
: Yun Jin: Ah, I see. So Yunning sent you... I did tell her not to worry...
: Yun Jin: Phew, but... on this occasion, it seems I'm rather lucky you came. You've helped me avert a major catastrophe.
: Yun Jin: It's a pity, though... I was so close to achieving the state of mind that Shenhe was talking about...
: What state of mind?
: Yun Jin: Do you remember what Shenhe said about the "divine damsel" fighting against the evil monster? That in reality, she hadn't acted as courageously as the operatic rendition would have you believe... That it was simply a matter of life and death, and she chose self-preservation?
: Yun Jin: Granted, she later admitted that she preferred the version of events given in the opera, with its portrayal of a divine heroine sacrificing herself for others...
: Yun Jin: But after giving it a lot of consideration, I think that this character is defined by her emotional complexity and even uncertainty. So the more emotions I can experience for myself, the wider range I will have to draw on in my performance.
: Yun Jin: If access to a different state of mind can help me provide a fresh interpretation of the character and her actions... well, surely it will take my acting skills to the next level!
: Yun Jin: That's why I came here.
: Yun Jin: My plan was to take it slowly, start by just dipping my toe in, as it were, but once I started... I just got completely drawn in...
: Yun Jin: Ah, I feel like I was so close to a breakthrough here...
: This is much too dangerous!
:: Yun Jin: Considering the rewards that I could reap from this experience, the risk is negligible.
:: Yun Jin: Still, if I choose to continue, this is unlikely to be the last time I'd need your help...
: ...Want to try again? I'll join in, too.
:: Yun Jin: You've defeated an ancient god before. How am I supposed to experience genuine danger if you're here with me?
: Yun Jin: Hmm... I suppose I had better return to for now. I'll only end up putting you in an awkward position otherwise. Goodness knows how you'd explain this to Yunning.
: Very true...
: Yun Jin: I wonder whether I have gained anything useful from this trip... Hmm, I suppose only time will tell.
===Crisis Averted===
;(Return to the Liyue Adventurers' Guild)
: Yunning: Can you put a few more adventurers on the case, or something? The clock's still ticking away...
: Katheryne: Please have faith in ... Ah, they've returned.
: Yun Jin: Yunning, we're back.
: Yunning: Yun Jin! Are you okay? Are you hurt? Do you need to go to Bubu Pharmacy?
: Yun Jin: *sigh* No, I'm fine. You don't need to worry. When it's time to go on stage, I'll be there.
: Yunning: *sigh* Look, I get it — you like to go out exploring. That's fine. But do you really have to go off thrill-seeking this close to the show?
: Yunning: You have to take better care of yourself, okay? For all our sakes. For the opera troupe and for your audience.
: Yunning: We're just lucky we had to help out. What if something had happened to you, huh? What would I say to our audience, hmm?
: Yun Jin: Well... I would say that the best way to make it up to our audience is to give them the best performance we can. Don't you agree?
: Yun Jin: While I'm offstage, as long as there is something, anything I can do to improve my acting ability, even the slightest amount, I can't pass up the opportunity.
: Yunning: You know, you... you... ugh, I don't know what to say anymore. ! Please! You tell her!
: Yun Jin: So... what's your honest opinion, ?
: Ultimately, safety should come first...
:;(Proceed to Branch 1)
: You made a good point, Yun Jin...
:;(Proceed to Branch 2)
===Branch 1===
: Ultimately, safety should come first...
: Yunning: Exactly, exactly. Just think of all the people coming from far and wide just to show you their support.
: Yun Jin: Why do you make it sound like... they are coming to see me, and not the show?
: Yunning: Well, same difference, isn't it?
: Yun Jin: Hmm... I don't think so. They seem quite different to me.
: Yun Jin: Well, either way, you're quite right. I mustn't let down our audience, especially those who came from afar.
: Yun Jin: ...And I certainly mustn't make you come out looking for me again, .
: Yun Jin: So I suppose I will put my training exercises on hold for a while.
: Yunning: Wheeeew. I'm glad to know that the brightest star in my troupe is finally going to start listening to reason.
: Yunning: I'm gonna head back and see how the set is coming along. Don't go disappearing on me again.
: Yun Jin: *sigh*... Alright, I'll head back and do some rehearsing.
: Yun Jin: It's no substitute for firsthand experience, but it should still help me iron out a few issues.
: It's also much safer than firsthand experience...
: Yun Jin: Heh. Speaking of which, I haven't even thanked you properly for saving me.
: Yun Jin: , if you are free after the show, come and find me at .The voice line says "Heyu Tea House"
:;(Proceed to After the Curtain Falls)
===Branch 2===
: You made a good point, Yun Jin...
: Yun Jin: I'm glad you agree! Right, then let's get preparing...
: Yunning: Hey... hey! , get over here!
: Yunning: You've only just managed to bring Yun Jin back — now you're taking her straight back out again? What's the big idea?
: Yunning: The next show is just days away. Please, if not for me, then for the sake of the opera troupe — I'm begging you. Help me convince her that at the end of the day, she's gotta fall in line.
: That is not going to be an easy task...
: Yunning: *sigh* Well, okay, maybe that's asking the impossible — but at least try and keep her distracted.
: Yunning: Please. Just keep her occupied until the next show. No more thrill-seeking!
: Yun Jin: What're you two talking about? If it doesn't involve me, I think I'm going to—
: Yunning: Eh, eh, eh! Uh... y'know what, it does involve you, actually! The Traveler was saying, uh, that...
: Yunning: Come on! Help me stall her!
: Yun Jin: Oh?
: Yun Jin: Well, ? What do you need from me?
: I... want to become an actor!
: Yun Jin: Hmm? You want to... become an actor?
: Yunning: Uh... y—you do? Ahem! Yes, of course does! was just telling me that 's interested in exploring dramatic side and, uh, would like you to give some coaching!
: Yunning: Right, good, well, let's not beat around the bush! Traveler, your master awaits...
: Yun Jin: H—Hold on... I don't know if I'm really ready to take on students yet...
: Yunning: Tsk, please! This is the day you've dreamed of, isn't it? You certainly talk about it enough! And look, now 's here, ready and willing...
: Yun Jin: Ahem! Okay, okay, I get it, you can stop now!
: Yun Jin: Phew... , I am delighted that you wish to study the performing arts from me.
: Yun Jin: But the issue is, before you could become my apprentice, I'd have to get approval from the founders, then do an initiation ceremony... There just isn't time for all that right now.
: Yun Jin: So for now, I'll just teach you a few basics. Informally, one friend to another. There's no need to call me "master."
: What about "teacher"?
: What about "coach"?
: Yun Jin: Um, wh—what? Don't you think that's a bit old-fashioned? Let's work on that later...
: Yun Jin: Until we settle on an appropriate title... just call me by my name.
: Yun Jin: Let's meet on the bridge by the sea at Feiyun Slope.
: Yun Jin: I'll do my best to prepare a good first lesson for you.
: Yunning: Phew. What a relief...
