[ honestly rng choosing beach is wildly appropriate. zhongli can be found with polearm in hand, point angled downwards but grip tight and ready rather than absently loose like it had been for most of the week so far. he's walking the length of the beach and scanning it with brow furrowed, expression severe, like he's just - looking. for anything. where charlie was, any signs of a scuffle or struggle or fight or anything, but coming up short the entire way.
approach? he hasn't immediately registered that someone else is there with him, to be honest. ]
[ of course he's approaching - yves is careful to watch his own step, mostly stepping in the existing footfalls of footprints already there to try to disturb the scene as little as possible ]
Were you able to find anything, Zhongli? You're okay? You're not hurt, right?
[ he doesn't startle, especially with the precise way that yves is moving, but does lift his head up a little faster than usual when there's both an approach and a voice. when he sees who it is, there's a small tick of his shoulders relaxing. but only a tick. ]
I'm alright. Are you? Have you heard anything since the announcement? [ return fuss ] I've not found a thing - I was hoping that perhaps there was something, especially given I was among the people trapped here last night at the bonfire.
I'm alright but - no, nothing new... I've regrouped with a few groups of people and it's all the same things. Suddenly trapped in a certain area, sometimes with others and sometimes alone, and then suddenly falling asleep even when they didn't plan on it.
Charlie started with us in the second floor bathroom, and then somehow made it out here... but the other people in the mansion didn't wake when she must've passed through the areas.
[ there's relief that yves is alright, but his displeasure is obvious as he does the math of charlie's trek. ]
To get to the beach from the mansion requires a great deal of ground to be covered, and the train ride can make one drowsy, I've noticed, so for her to make it through so many barriers without a single soul rousing...
It's definitely odd. There's something bizarre about it, whether intentional or unforeseen.
[ frowns... ]
I don't want to believe that the angels have misled us, especially with Ramiel's message, but I think we need whatever information they must be collecting now to understand what's going on.
I'm willing to keep my faith in the angels and their honesty for now, simply because it doesn't seem like actions that they would take. Whether it be to mislead us, or to orchestrate things - it doesn't seem like they would know.
But it does bring to question who would. I hope that the answers they provide us tomorrow will bring us to the truth.

It feels as if it's by design.
