[ Vash has experienced other freaky things... It is because it's in the middle of a survival fest between humans and their mediocrity that accentuates and separates the freaks. Humanity is just a colony of ants... Small in the scheme of things aside from the number, but there are bigger and scarier ants among them. ]
I think as a whole, yeah... But it must be weird for me to say since I came from a spaceship where humanity was looking to expand their reach to the stars.

You know we were talking about frequencies before? Think of it the same, except it isn't about separating the dead and the living.
Instead, it separates dimensions off of decisions and choices. Every time there is a choice, there would be a dimension where you did x and then another one where you did y instead.
If you've seen the monument in the cemetery, I wrote it on the sign. Shenhe wrote it, I mean. [Since she made the sign for him.] It's the world tree--it stores records of everything that's happened in the history of Teyvat. Memories of people, events... things like that.
[Literally me though. But oh--he nods, and will move over so that he's in the frame so they can pose for a picture.]
Well, yes, though it's not a normal tree. From the way Nahida explained it, it's a little bit like... a database? A collection of records. [He lifts a shoulder in a shrug.] To be honest, I don't know much about it. It's not exactly in my wheelhouse. But many things around Teyvat are said to be products of Irminsul. Off-shoots, in a way.

[He watches the rock as well, contemplative.]
I'd heard of the possibility of other worlds, but I had no idea they were real until I met the Traveler.

Interesting. I wonder if Irminsul is influenced by things like that.

[ me here like i can't remember if he did or it's just me being canon familiar so i'm going to go with this route ]

The mention of Shenhe makes him sad, but... ]
All in one tree?!

Well, long live Irminsul and Sumeru!

It does make me wonder how connected all our worlds are, though. I have no idea if anyone from Teyvat has ever traveled beyond it.
