Thinking about Gula's role, which was to find the traitor, ultimately proves pointless, as the traitor, Luxu, is someone outside the group he is investigating.

Happy Birthday, Navia! ☂

The ending of Jiyan's companion story is straight out of a Jirover fanfic.

Rover asks Jiyan to be on her team from his companion story.

Each time Lumine sees her brother, who ditches her, the emotional pain that follows is heart-wrenching. This becomes more apparent after a few encounters, as Lumine’s emotional burden is evident. After the most recent quest, she sought solitude due to her brother.

Lumine’s unwavering belief in seeing the end of her journey and seeing her brother is a testament to her strength and determination. However, after the latest quest, it’s understandable that she has begun to harbor doubts. This realization marks a pivotal moment, as she confronts the harsh truth that the brother she once knew is gone.

It’s uncertain whether Aether is aware of the pain he has caused Lumine and vice versa, depending on whether you chose Aether or Lumine as the Abyss Sibling.

The Abyss siblings’ awareness of the pain they inflict on their sibling is a complex and nuanced, with evidence suggesting both a lack of full understanding and a degree of deliberate choice. Their actions, especially their leadership of the Abyss Order, have caused significant suffering to their sibling and all of Teyvat, yet their motivations and level of awareness regarding the consequences remain unclear.

I speculate about the future, when Lumine will have to decide between her brother and the friends and meaningful connections she has formed in Teyvat. Whenever they meet, the tension and distance are noticeable and difficult to ignore.

Dainsleif’s ominous foreshadowing in the last twin quest before Natlan suggests that Aether will eventually betray her. Yet, he also hints that reconciliation is not beyond reach. Something happened between Aether and Dainsleif - a falling out and Dainsleif sees that what happened between them will occur again with Lumine.

They should’ve voiced the Mare Jivari world quest because I wanted to see Citlali and Enjou’s beef voiced.

Dainsleif gets stabbed!

He’ll be fine. All pure-blooded Khaenri’ahns are cursed with immortality and cannot die.

The identity of the Iniquitous Baptist is revealed to be Dainsleif's former teacher.

Dainsleif gives more Khaenri'ahn lore.

I'm certain that the tale of the Golden-haired Savior refers to the Gnostic Hymn lore:

Venti: Once, there was a glorious kingdom established among the heavens. Venti: From that kingdom came a crowned heir, tasked with seeking out the Genesis Pearl from the Kingdom of Darkness. Venti: The first crowned heir began her journey of seeking the pearl. Venti: But she was deceived, and the memory of her noble origins faded. Venti: She now believed that she was the queen of the Kingdom of Darkness. Venti: But take heart, a second crowned heir had already taken up the path where the first had stumbled. Venti: This is the story of your journey, of your tale to be told.

If we apply this to the twins, since Aether, the first heir, succumbed at some point and fell, Lumine, the second heir, takes up the path where her brother had failed. I've always believed that the Gnostic Hymn refers to the twins, given their circumstances.

Citlali points out that the Leader of the Abyss Order choosing a simple name for the organization is tasteless, and Lumine agrees and replies, “If she were in her brother's position, she would've changed the name long ago.” This is classic sibling behavior.

[solelii]

Lumine straight-up tLumine straight-up tells Mavuika and Iansan that her brother is the leader of the Abyss Order.

Pls just do it, Mavuika. Aether deserves it.

Phaidei in the cooking event before the TB mission is straight out of a Phaidei fanfic.

Lol, even from the Mare Jivari quest involving Citlali and Enjou - even he finds Paimon irritating. 

[solelii]

Finally doing the Mare Jivari quest that involves Enjou and Citlali. Whenever Paimon says “we,” I respond with “No, not we. You don’t do anything.”

Data Sora to King Mickey:

“I'll keep the hurt with me for the time being. It's all that I have. It's what holds the pieces in place. I accept that.”
