Aether and Lumine reunited 😭💛

Aether's expressions broke my heart. 💔

"There's so much I wanted to ask you, but for some reason, I'm not interested in asking those questions right now.

There's just one thing I have to ask, one thing I could never understand...

Why... why can't we continue our journey together?"

Dain asking the Traveler if they feel as though their sibling has betrayed them in the 4.7 trailer has destroyed me emotionally

I love Aether as the traveler and Lumine as the Abyss princess I think that makes a lot of sense and is really fitting for the story. Plus abyss Lumine is hot af 🫶

But

I much prefer Lumine as the traveler and Aether as the abyss prince. I’m probably biased as I picked Lumine but I just find it really interesting. It’s a bit generic having the sunshine boy the good guy and the cold mean girl the bad. If you reverse it and make it the sunshine boy turned bad and the cold mean girl forced to be the hero, it becomes a much more compelling story.

Just imagine, the man who’s too kind for his own good, always helping people, friendly and social, has gone through that much trauma and pain that he wants to get revenge on the very people he once stood for. On the brink of insanity from all of the hatred he feels.

Now imagine Lumine. Cold, distant, calculating. Someone who’s never been in the hero role before and has suddenly just been thrust into it out of nowhere. She’s in her brothers place. This is a scenario her brother would thrive in. Not her. To make matters worse, she still has absolutely no idea where he is. She doesn’t know what to do. She’s absolutely trapped.

She has to learn to adapt over time. Learn more empathy. Be able to make friends more. Feel like she can truly trust people. It’s a learning curve for both of them. Lumine learning that she can trust people other than her brother, Aether learning that he can trust a lot less people than he originally thought.

Though, with everyone new Lumine meets she becomes more and more agitated and even more angry over time. She wants her brother. She doesn’t want to save nations. She doesn’t want to save people.

Her and Aether are two halves of one whole. They are what the other isn’t. They can’t cope properly without each other. All she wants is him. Imagine her desperation when she learns he’s missing. Her frustration and anger as no one properly helping her or taking her seriously. Knowing he’s alive but where the hell could he be!? Her utter relief and joy when seeing him again. Thinking they are going to go back home.

Now imagine her distraught when that same brother chooses the abyss over her.

It is more and more certain that Aether is the one who will bring peace to Xiao and their futures are intertwined.

Aether is the one who Dainsleif talks about, to whom Xiao's namecard refers.

Xiao: "He longs for a day to come" (...) "amid a sea of flowers"

Aether: "You wanted to find a place" (...) "The Sea of Flowers at the End."

Aether & Lumine

Something I did as my part of an art trade on Insta :)

Lumine absolutely did not just up and walk away onto the next quest after her brother left her for the abyss like she did in the game.

In Genshin she showed very little emotion afterwards and seemed to just immediately move on to go to Inazuma and be completely fine.

No way is Lumine, who has never been separated from her brother before and is practically co-dependant on him, going to take him leaving lightly.

In her eyes, he’s abandoned her. He’s turned his back on her. On everything the twins had before.

At first she’s silent as the portal disappears. Staring at the empty space. Contemplating what the hell actually happened. She’s not yet processed that Aether has actually left her. It’s as if she’s expecting him to just appear again, say it was all just a big joke. Take her hand in his and ask her to go back home with him.

Hearing Paimon is what sets her off. “Don’t be too sad, look on the bright side, we got some really useful information!”

It’s a blur to her after that. Her emotions completely taking over. Screaming at Paimon to shut up. She doesn’t know what it’s like. Screaming at Aether to come back. Struggling to catch her breath.

She’s on the floor. Her head in her hands. Her wails echoing off the walls of the cave. Paimon tries to come over to comfort her who gets aggressively pushed away by Lumine. It’s not okay. It never will be okay. She can’t stop sobbing. Gods she’s so weak.

She’s not the same after that. All the quests. All the people. Everything anyone does, it’s all like a blur to Lumine. For months after she barely sleeps. Barely eats. She doesn’t talk unless necessary, even to Paimon. She’s completely broken after the event. There’s so many questions. The main one being ‘why?’

Why would he choose the abyss? Why did he go down that path? Doesn’t he care about her anymore? Why would he not go home to her?

She feels weak. She feels as if she’s failed him. Why wasn’t she faster? Why did she let him talk? Why didn’t she just grab him and refuse to let go?

She’s utterly distraught. She gets more and more angry and snappy with people whenever they ask her for something. She doesn’t want to help save nations. She doesn’t want to help kill hilichurls. She doesn’t want to defeat monsters and solve the mysteries of the world. She doesn’t care.

All she wants is Aether. And now he’s gone. And Lumine doesn’t know if he’s ever going to come back.
