    Summary

    To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own.
     

    Teyvat is at war with the kaiju: gargantuan, city-destroying leviathans that emerged from an abyssal rift beneath the sea.
    After losing his twin sister in a battle against an unknown kaiju, ex-Jaeger pilot Aether still clings to the belief that she is somehow still alive. Guided by strange dreams, he confides in Albedo, the eccentric K-scientist who believes the kaiju are more than mere monsters.

    But Albedo brings with him his own buried past. Discovering the truth of the kaiju will bring new revelations about their origins, the truth of this world, and the secrets which lie within the drift…

    Summary

    It’s like Reigen’s been waiting for the question. He stops dead on the pavement, grips Mob by the shoulders, and stares down into his eyes with an expression as haunted as though every ghost the pair of them has ever exorcised has taken up residence behind it. “Mob,” he says. “Mob,” he says again. “Tell me, Mob. Look at me and tell me. Tell me truthfully. Do I look cursed to you?”

    Mob looks at him, and tells him truthfully. “No.”

    “Well, you didn’t look very long,” says Reigen. “Let’s just stand here for a moment, like so, and you can have another look, a nice long look, and really think about it...”

    (There's nothing strange about being called back to exorcise the same haunted photocopier six days in a row. It must just be a very haunted photocopier.)

    Summary

    When he closes his eyes, he sees a skyless sky, a big black void with painted stars, and it’s all so familiar, so nostalgic, as if he had spent his early life looking above this mimic of freedom. The voice in his mind grows stronger, more eager, more pronounced, more dominant, and Albedo grows attached to this tone too, even if the rational side of his brain protests.

     

    or

    As Albedo falls deeper into the false reality of delirium, Aether is there to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    Albedo — an alchemist based in Mondstadt, in the service of the Knights of Favonius.
    "Genius," "Kreideprinz," or "Captain of the Investigation Team"... Such titles and honours are of no consequence to him when there is so much more research to conduct.
    The pursuit of fortune and connections cannot hold a candle to his heart's desire — acquiring the limitless, obscure knowledge left behind by previous generations of scholars.
    [Albedo fails to kill his impostor and is captured. Strangely enough he finds himself in Sumeru, his true identity revealed, and ends up playing a key role in the Grand Sage’s last desperate plan to create Sumeru’s true Archon.]

    Summary

    ΒΕΒΗΛΟΣ (VEVILOS): One who desecrates (violates) a sacred space by their presence or by impious acts and destruction therein.
    A sacrilegious false God, created by forcing a homunculus to interface directly with Irminsul
    “Blasphemer”, “Blind Dreamer” or “Idiot Prophet”... All titles for the one who will finally be able to learn the truth of this world in its entirety and will in turn see their greatest desire realised.
    But, moving past the veil of madness will bring with it detractors who wish to cling to a falsely-constructed past. Such self-sabotaging cowards must be eliminated.

    [With Rhinedottir’s identity as the Great Sinner becoming public knowledge, Aether wants to return to Mondstadt and check on Albedo. However, he is intercepted by Nahida, who asks him to help storm Azar’s compound and put an end to his schemes. Once there though, Aether realises it’s already too late.]
