—["Warning: Klee is unable to complete the challenge at her current location. Initiating transfer to Captain Jean now!"]
A burst of white light enveloped Klee's tiny frame, disappearing from view in a split second. The next moment, the scene shifted to the Knights of Favonius' office.
There sat Jean, the acting Grand Master, laboriously focused on her paperwork. But her thoughts began to drift, pondering what punishment awaited her that afternoon. Considering her earlier embarrassing spectacle, Jean had a feeling it wouldn't be so simple.
Suddenly, she had her answer. A familiar red blur appeared before her eyes—it was Klee, her face flushed with panic! But the momentary panic shifted to a look of absolute cockiness. She darted towards Jean's desk, coming to a halt right in front of it. Realizing she wasn't tall enough, she grabbed the edge of the table and awkwardly, but determinedly, climbed up. Little did she know, her shoes had carried some soil from Starfell Lake, now leaving prints on Jean's important documents!
Inside, Klee was freaking out, noticing Jean's face darkening, filled with murderous intent. Yet she couldn't control her facial expression, which remained arrogantly defiant. She put her hands on her hips and shouted at Jean—

Alice: "@Klee, um, Klee, mommy has to go offline for a bit. Don't forget to read the comments~~~"
Keqing: "???"
Just as everyone was engrossed in the conversation sparked by Klee's statements, an even more absurd moment unfolded—
In the live chat room, after Klee had asserted her dominance, Jean found herself paralyzed. Her stern expression changed to one of timidity and panic. Jean pulled her hands back from the desk, intertwining her fingers, and avoiding eye contact with Klee. Then, in a soft and vulnerable tone, she said—
"My name is Jean. If you don't like it, you can just call me Jean Jean..."
"I can handle it..."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Jean wanted to dig a hole and bury herself. She was the face of the Knights of Favonius, the acting Grand Master! And now she'd humiliated herself in front of all of Teyvat! She was utterly distraught!
Klee wasn't done yet. Riding on her own momentum, she continued with scornful disdain—
"So you're just a nobody!"
"Remember my name, it's Klee!"
