One of my favorite things about the game's writing of Alhaitham and Kaveh:
The basic game text goes out of its way to convince us that the house is Alhaitham's--it is literally called "Alhaitham's Home" even during Kaveh's hangout.
But in-universe, we never see Alhaitham in his house unless Kaveh is there.
Throughout Sumeru's archon quests, we run into Alhaitham practically everywhere: in Port Ormos, in Aaru Village, in the Akademiya, at the Grand Bazaar. But never, despite the fact that the story wants to sell him as a homebody, in his own home. In fact, the only references we have to Alhaitham's house at all throughout the entire lead up of the archon quests are mentions of Kaveh.
Alhaitham doesn't suggest going there, doesn't ever go home himself (at least that we're explicitly told about) until the end of the archon quests, and has no cutscenes in his own house until Kaveh returns from the desert.
Then, all the sudden, Alhaitham literally can't wait to go home and walks off in the middle of a conversation.
From that point on, every time we're permitted to enter Alhaitham's house, in story quests, the hangout, and the event, it's either when he and Kaveh are together or with Kaveh alone.
Even during Alhaitham's birthday skit of all things, they went out of their way to tell us that Alhaitham's home, so of course Kaveh is there:
The map tag tells us the building is Alhaitham's Home, but the story reinforces a different idea:
It's Alhaitham's home when Kaveh is in it.

james, the pining princess
R: what happened now?
P: don’t mind him, he’s pining. the cat is for emotional support
J: i’ve tried EVERYTHING
R: please don’t-
J: the charming grin, the messy hair, the jumper that “accidentally” lifts up when i raise my arms and shows just enough skin-
S: okay, STOP.
J: i like him so much
S: i know and i support you, mate, but he’s still my brother, so keep it family friendly? please?
J: mhm :(
i have so many ideas with reggie the cat too bad i can only draw cats as indefinite blobs of fur with two eyes and a tail
(which, admittedly, is a pretty accurate representation…anyways so-)
(also new chapter of but she’s a cheerleader! out)

can't believe that having disagreeing opinions with someone even on something that everyone around you thinks is incredibly serious doesn't mean you can't be friends. like genuinely I have a friend I expressed a somewhat different opinion to a while ago and it appalls me that we're still friends because I thought disagreeing on the topic was going to be a deal breaker based on literally every other discussion I've been involved in about it. but no. apparently not?? I didn't lose a friend??? Hallelujah????

If you think the team didn’t have a longterm bet going on about whether Roy and Jamie were fucking after Amsterdam, you’re wrong. Also, all bets were conducted with the Honorable Judge McAdoo presiding over them.
