One of the trials the Fox put us through exposed us to countless possible lives. Other versions of us. [Kaeya says as leans back on the log. It is an old sturdy thing that will handle their weight.]

We woke up in different realities with a history to match it. …reality is made of countless threads each created from a series of decisions of the inhabitants of that timeline. It’s like a bunch of chess matches all occurring at once of the same game. Or the same pieces, those are the ones where the people are the same but the history is different from other threads.

Mind you I didn’t see this until I lived the life of a seer. And at the end when the fox briefly linked us to all the other versions of ourselves. After that…it was hard to feel grounded in this reality for a while.

Sometimes I feel thousands of years old and yet young at the same time. I lose myself a lot less. It helps in the thread I was born in I was not born a seer. That messes you up, Diluc. More than you would think it would.

[He stares straight ahead. He shakes his head once.] The memories of those other selves have faded a bit with time but they’re all there.
