The voice was silent as y/n kept screaming 'wtf' over and over again, coming dangerously close to falling off the boat.
They only spoke when y/n almost fell off, uttering a simple, "Careful now."
Y/n squeaked when something lightly nudged her, balancing her back on the boat again. She glanced back to see what it was but didn't see anything.
"Who- who are you?" y/n questioned, shaking like a frightened animal.
"...not someone who intends to harm you." the voice replied after taking a moment to think, "And if I told you, you'd likely leave and never come back."
"WAIT, YOU'RE NOT GONNA LET ME LEAVE!?" y/n shrieked, tears in her eyes.
"No, I-" the voice heaved a sigh as y/n curled up in the boat, "No, I won't prevent you from leaving. I'd just be a little disappointed if you never came back."
Y/n paused, "H-Huh...?"
The voice cleared their throat then added, "After all, you're the only company I've had in a very long time."
"Oh..." y/n murmured, "We'll, uhm, my name is y/n. What's your name?"
"..." the voice was silent again.
"Do you not remember it?"
"No, I do. I just don't want to scare you away." the voice explained, "But, if you'd like, you can give me a name."
"Give you a name?" y/n echoed.
"Yes. Anything. As long as it isn't weird."
Y/n closed her eyes, pondering before snapping her fingers, "Aha! Sui!"
"Sui???"
"Mhm, I feel like it fits." y/n replied.
"Oh, I see..." the voice seemed to consider it before deciding, "Okay. Sui it is then."
"So all this time, you've been listening? And you were the one who helped me when I first arrived? How come you didn't say anything?" y/n inquired.
"That's the thing. I couldn't." Sui chuckled, "Not until now though. For some odd reason which I hope to learn more about..."
"Wait, so you heard-"
"Yes. I heard your rants about some ginger and how some lady was a roach and how you wanted to go home." Sui listed as y/n's face grew warm.
"Okay! Okay! I get it!" y/n wheezed, growing flustered as Sui chuckled once more, 'HOW TF CAN I BE ATTRACTED TO A VOICE, HOW DOES THAT WORK???'
"So... Sui... how come you're all the way out here?" y/n questioned, "The only reasons for that I can think of are... you being a ghost or you being some kind of sealed god."
"You got it."
"EHHHH??? YOU'RE A GHOST!???"
"No. I'm a God."
Y/n paused, "...you are?"
"Indeed. I was sealed here." Sui replied and y/n thought for a minute before it clicked.
'Oh shit, I'm talking to Osial-' she realized.
Okay, this was fine.
First the lizard being Rex Lapis.
Then this soft-spoken person being Osial, an ancient sea monster-
Meh, it was okay.
"Oh alright."
"You're awfully calm for someone who doesn't really understand Gods and finds them scary." Sui pointed out.
"Cause you haven't tried to kill me. All you've done is help me. Same with the lizard-"
"What lizard."
"Nothing."
Y/n ended up going home late, spending all night talking to Sui. It was nice to freely speak her mind without worrying.
For an ancient God who once tried to destroy Liyue, Sui had a very soft voice and was very reassuring. They had a gentle and comforting presence to be honest, not at all what you would expect from a sea monster.
When she returned home, she felt as though she could breathe easily for the first time in a while. Without worrying, without being afraid.
Y/n hummed quietly to herself as she drifted off.
She wasn't totally at peace.
But this was okay too.

Ayumu once had a pet fish.
A pet fish he loved very much.
He never let Kaori or y/n near the fish, overly protective of his tiny friend.
It was quite amusing how he would bring the fish with him everywhere in whatever he could find. A bowl, a bucket, anything. He once even carried it around in a tea pot.
Him and that fish had been through a lot together. The fish had been there when Ayumu had to work late. The fish was there when Ayumu had fallen ill from exhaustion.
The fish had been there when the strange elderly man took in the three children.
The fish lived eleven years, much to everyone's surprise, but died a couple days after Ayumu turned nineteen.
He wouldn't leave his room until he had to be dragged out by his foot for training.
A girl chuckled as she sat next to an elderly man, the two of them staring at the little makeshift grave across the yard from the nice little estate.
Ayumu truly had loved that fish.
As for the name of the fish?
It'd been called Sui.
"Gramps. Do you think y/n and Ayumu are alright?" the girl asked quietly.
The elderly man beside her was quiet and the girl immediately burst into tears.
The thought of losing her brother and her sister-figure was incredibly scary.
What if they were dead?
No matter how much the girl tried to think of some other possibility, it always went right back to death.
The old man simply pat her hand as a show of comfort, "They'll be alright."
Neither of them were quite sure about that. But, all they could do was hope.
Hope that the two problem children wouldn't end up like Sui. Dead.
