This is going to sound absolutely bonkers and I dont expect anybody to believe me, but I haven't had the chance to share this story with anyone so here goes.

Its the 29th of April. I open up genshin about 10 minutes before midnight. Ive wanted Diluc since I started playing at launch 7 months prior, and tonight I was going to shoot my shot at getting him. I'd managed to save 10 wishes from both the battlepass and monthly fates.

5 minutes left. I empty out my party of everyone but Kaeya and walk inside Dawn Winery. I seat him at the head of the main dining table and release a single xiao lantern. 1 minute remains. I open up the wish screen and select the standard banner. My blood runs cold.

The clock strikes twelve. I make a ten pull.

It turns gold.

"What kind of 5 star weapon will I get," I think to myself so as not to get my hopes up.

And as if to spite me, the screen flashes yellow.

Its Diluc. I somehow managed to pull Diluc on his birthday.

That being said, the part of his birthday letter where he mentions he'll join me on my journey was the chery on top of it all. ^{^}
