[Aether smiles, but it's a forced, humourless expression.]

It's... actually a bit ironic. I'm not really unused to sleeping for such a long time. In fact, when my sister and I travelled to different worlds we would be asleep on the ship in a special chamber before arriving to a new world.

[He pauses for a moment, before continuing.]

When I woke up on Teyvat for the first time, the world was in chaos. Screams, destruction. My sister grabbed my hand and told me we need to run. So I did. But when we tried to escape that was when the god stopped us.

[The fact that only he was asleep for years and his sister was travelling all alone in this world was definitely some sort of punishment. But why exactly?]

I hope one day Lumine can tell me her side of the story. That's really all I want.

[He's... tired. His leans against Vanitas, seeking comfort in his warmth.]
