   Summary

   After going through Mondstadt, Liyue and Inazuma, Aether is exhausted and goes to Liyue with Paimon to prepare their trip to Sumeru. He feels like everything he has done was pointless and feels like it was always the others but never him. Always “the traveler” but never “Aether”.

   But for someone in Liyue, it was always Aether ; and he will discover it sooner than expected.
