And let’s say about 20-22 years later professor Zhongli meets Ajax, who is a carbon copy of a person only Zhongli was able to see all these years ago….👀
And when the truth is found Tartaglia finally understands who Zhongli is and why he was able to “free” his soul (schocking: Zhongli is reincarnated Rex Lapis) but he doesn’t say anything to Zhongli and just kisses him sweetly before finally departing from this world
Tartaglia doesn’t remember a lot nor does he understand how to come to rest, and Zhongli puts a lot of effort in discovering about his past and finding out that the reason Tartaglia’s soul is still here is his unfulfilled promise to Rex Lapis, which was to return to the god safe and sound
Reincarnation #zhongchili AU where ZL is a young archaeologist+history nerd who discovers the remains of the famous Tartaglia; but the trick is that Tartaglia’s soul is bound to his mask/vision and can’t find rest AND now he’s stuck with Zhongli who found him…
I’ll repost some of the thread here
