Dreams

He insists on joining WooPil's dream just in case after the recent events. From the cursed young men to the bugged SU, he can't stop working to solve the matters.
He tries to make sure there is always some help for the boys, while they rest. Hudie is working hard these days but turns out it is also helping him to train his powers.
Zhongli decides to join WooPil himself, just in case. He wants to understand if fights can be avoided or if it is necessary to finish the whole fight to get out.
He waits for the child to fall asleep, then Hudie gives Zhongli access to the dream.

Zhongli and WooPil find themselves in Seirai Island.

MORAX "Sure..." He mentally gasps, but he will pretend he had some healthy meals.
"There'd be other taller people ready to help if I won't be there, surely..." He smiles slightly.
"An emblem is a symbol, usually given to families or organizations. It can me an image, like an animal or even the Geo symbol."
He narrows his eyes, summoning Vortex Vanquisher. "Lowly puppet, how dare you talking back to me?" He hits the ground with his spear, creating some shiny cracks all around.

Woopino «Wh… what foods did you eat, when you were little? Zucchini and… meat? They are good with glass noodles and bell peppers…»
He sighs. «But… but the other grown ups aren't tall like you. Only… only Jing Yuan…»
He ponders. «I… I think it should be the Geo symbol…» He looks at the crystal of his vision.

Shogun: *unfazed* Very impressive, Zhongli. *summons Musou no Hitotachi* You are about to find out the true extent of eternity. *charges toward Zhongli*

MORAX "I ate a bit of everything, a lot of vegetables, a bit of meat, rice...
It is not necessary to be tall like us to reach high shelves. Do not think height is everything, sweetie.
It is indeed my symbol, but what about the others? They might not find it appropriate." He wouldn't want to disappoint them.
He casts his pillar in front of her as she charges, then his elemental burst.

Woopino He takes note of all the foods Zhongli lists and realises that he already eats all those things on daily basis.
«But… being tall is… is nice and cool… even… even big brother doesn't manage to reach the highest shelves at the convenience store…» He doesn't need to specify which big brother he means, since they are both short.

As Zhongli defeats the Shogun, they are out of the SU and can continue to sleep peacefully.
Meanwhile, Herta found out about the bug and worked to fix it, so the issue won't repeat anymore.

MORAX "Eh...I understand it has some positive sides, but I believe value as people lays far from how tall someone is."
He leaves the dream and sighs deeply, looking at WooPil as he rests.
