"Your vision will help guide you. It will glow when it senses something amiss. And if you concentrate on that, you should be able to identify the source."

[ Concentrate as in do an ELM check ]

My 'vision'...

[She reaches for it, or what she assumes it is. Holds it in her palm--

[No, she can't even pretend this isn't glowing right now.]

And this isn't just reacting to me? To either of us? I shouldn't be here at all, still less twice.

[ The gate and all the idols from Imeeji in this space pulse with the light from her vision. ]

... Ah. I see.

[Am I going to have to fight myself?]

I don't suppose I can simply convince you to leave?

You're me. Or a close enough approximation.

I wouldn't accept that without a fight.

"You're right. Because of course you are.

But let me give you an easier way. If you break the gate, then no more idols can come to Liyue.

And I don't want you to have the trauma of your own blood on your hands. That'd be messy for both of us."

To say nothing of the effect on my sense of self. Exactly.

[She tucks the vision into a pocket.]

I believe I'll start with the source.

[ Distinctly not referencing her pantheon ]

"May the Seven watch over you."

Re: Doppleganger: Alisaie

[scattershot]

And may the Twelve bless and keep you, too.

[ Good luck out there! ]
