You can start the Love in the Time of Black Tide quest in Honkai Star Rail by visiting the place depicted on the map above. The area is part of the rooftops of Okhema City, which you will eventually visit after talking to Aglaea for the first time during the main quest line. Here, you will find a young couple sitting on the rooftop and discussing their future.

After the woman leaves, talk to the man called Aelius to hear his part of the story. It will be revealed that the woman’s parents are against their union since they are from different cities.

Shortly after, another woman will come in and inform Aelius that she saw his beloved, Nympha, being dragged away by her parents’ guards.
