#nahida: i was imprisoned for 500y and now i'm proving myself as a worthy archon by going on adventures and saving my nation. thrice!!

[protect-namine]

remembered again how much I love nahida and wanderer. how both nahida and wanderer act as foils to each other's stories in the sumeru archon quest, how they both came from irminsul, how wanderer now acts like her kagemusha the way ei was to makoto thereby circling back to wanderer's original intended "purpose" and even mirroring his mother's role but this time to someone he chose for himself, how nahida is such a clever little archon but also so kind and sheltered and yet she just keeps winning in her gambits.

and now that everything is settling down, nahida goes on her big girl quests to solve nation-wide problems with people's dreams and primordial dragons while wanderer enters his slice-of-life era and goes off to college, gets roped into a cooking club, and writes essays to correct other people when he's bored. love that for them!!
