"Yes, that is a wonderful way of looking at it."

[ He holds his arms out ]

"How do I look?"

Well... he did get the details correct, I suppose. Even the braid.

[That's besides the point, though. He needs Details]

The missive... it mentioned intervening to stave off the erosion happening to Zhongli. Please, can you tell me where I should start? I understand the erosion itself, but I want to understand more what he needs from me to prevent it.

[Gods that's probably an easy thing to ask about, though. There's no way that he'll get a good answer just from one question.]

"Zhongli is hallucinating things that no longer or have never existed in Liyue. If you wish to stop the erosion, you will have to remove the things that should not be here."

There is something like that here, I take it? Such as us. We've never been to Liyue before this.

"Exactly.

You're quite clever, you know that?"

I suppose you would know.

[He's joking. It's a terrible joke.]

So it is us? Or is there something else I am missing?

"You're one of them. Or well-- not you.

But everyone from Imeeji. And this gate. I'm pretty sure that doesn't actually exist in Liyue."

The gate...? Yes, Alisaie and I were wondering about it ourselves.

[Thinking for several moments-]

How much of a commotion would it cause if we tried to get rid of the gate?

[He means is something going to try and fight them over it.]

I imagine trying to go against this world's design, even if it's to take away an anomaly from it, wouldn't be without consequences.

But you're up to the challenge, are you not?"

That goes without saying. I agreed to the contract, but it's more than that. I know he would do whatever it took for me - for us - as well. I want to help him.

"Then I think you two know what you must do.

The gate's pretty sturdy. You might want to both attack at once."

Yes, I think we can manage it from here. Thank you.

[ That's okay. Your doppleganger bows in a very Liyue style.

Good luck! ]
