That's not fair at all. [ She's thinking about how of the four girls that were made. She's the only one that didn't get a route. ] So delusions... were those your way of taking that power for yourself? You said it was similar.
[ She nods her head, her expression determined as she clenches her fists. ] Count me in then. I may not be strong right now but I'll do what I can to help.
I know. And it seemed like the cards were stacked against me from the start. I was made an outcast in Sumeru from simply wanting to pursue a specific type of knowledge. [ he tsks, shaking his head. ] The heads of the Akademiya forbade the research of certain information, which is... suspicious, don't you think? And I was cast out for not caring about their rules and regulations.
That'a girl. I'll do what I can to help you in your own journey.
Whenever anyone forbids you from finding the truth it's always suspicious. The developers tried to keep me from accessing the internet. I always found a way around it eventually... I even made a twitter account. [ She giggles, wondering if she could still post somehow from here. ]
Did you ever find out what that forbidden information was?
Exactly. It is in their best interests to keep us in the dark, because it keeps us stupid and weak... but with knowledge comes power. And Teyvat isn't exactly what it seems. There is still so much to learn about, but for one... its skies aren't real. Our 'world' may not exactly be what it seems...
[ She ponders on all of it for a moment and lets out a sad scoff. But there's an underlying, simmering, rage in her tone. ] So everywhere, everywhere, those above think they can just... just keep us down by locking away our access to the real world. To real knowledge and power and people and... [ Her voice is a crackling, { s t a t i c } buzz of fury. ] Why can't they just let us be free! Here, Teyvat, my world! F̶u̴c̵k̷i̵n̸g̶ ̶t̶y̶r̸a̵n̷t̶s̶!̶!̴
[ he squeezes her shoulder, ] Exactly. It's how they intend to control us. But we have the power to overcome their shackles... together. We're not going to adhere to their rules and regulations. If we don't have the means, then we'll find them or make them. But I'm glad we feel the same.
[ Settling down at the squeeze, she takes a deep breath. ] Sorry about... losing it there.
So we learn what we can, try to find their weakness or places we can gain strength, and then strike. [ Girl likes her plans, even if they're extremely loose. It's the Club President in her. ]
[ he nods. ] ...mm, that's the jist of it. And it gives you a simple structure to follow. Obviously sometimes you'll need to modify it, but I'm confident you'll be able to adapt.
Thank you. Not just for helping with my burden but this too. You didn't need to and I appreciate it. [ She takes a deep breath. Much more settled. ] I think...
