"Riddler? Sangonomiya-sama, is this the Riddler we understand?"
Watatsumi Island, Gorou looked at the bullet comments in the video, a little confused.
"Well… Probably?"
"I'm not entirely sure either."
Kokomi touched her chin, indicating that she couldn't be sure either.

Venti: "Ehe, is this Riddler you're talking about legitimate?"
Venti: "Is it the Riddler we understand?"
Dan Heng: "Perhaps not."
Dan Heng: "The Riddler they are referring to should be a unique group."
Dan Heng: "In the universe, there is a group of people who are committed to destroying the certainty of language. The words used to express meaning often become unrecognizable in the mouths of 'Riddlers'."
Dan Heng: "To put it simply, 'Riddlers' always give you a vague and ungrounded feeling when they speak."
Stelle: "That's right, what he said is very correct. I can only say that those who understand, understand. I won't explain much to those who don't. The interests involved are huge, so don't ask me why. Because those who understand, understand, and those who don't will never understand in this lifetime."
Stelle: "Actually, knowing too much isn't good either. You don't need to understand anymore. Speech over, gone!"
Welt: "Excellent, Stelle has personally demonstrated what a Riddler is!"
....

"Those who understand, understand, and those who don't, I won't say? Is this the Riddler?"
"It's quite vivid! But why does it sound so annoying? I really want to use my greatsword to teach a lesson to people who talk like that."
Outside Mondstadt, Eula, who was on patrol, saw Stelle's vivid performance,
Couldn't help but clench her fists.
This way of speaking was simply too irritating. Just thinking about it made her blood pressure soar.

Hanabi: "Oh my, little gray hair, that was a great performance!"
Sampo: "Sister, with your way of speaking, I'll call you 'Ms. Understander'!"
Stelle: "Thank you for your compliments, but Miss Hanabi, who are you calling little gray hair?"
Hanabi: "Hehehe, of course I'm calling you."
Hanabi: "What? You don't like it? How about I call you big gray hair?"
Stelle: "Big gray hair? Incorrect!"
Stelle: "You should call me the Galactic Baseballer!"
Black Swan: "You all are really energetic."
Black Swan: "However, may I ask a few questions?"
Black Swan's words appeared in the livestream room, temporarily halting the somewhat cheerful atmosphere.
Stelle: "What questions does Miss Black Swan want to ask?"
Black Swan: "It's simple, I just want to know, what are your thoughts on the three questions Miss Acheron raised?"
Black Swan: "For example, the first question, would you be afraid of losing these unbreakable connections?"
In a room in Penacony, Black Swan's demeanor was elegant, watching the screen with interest, waiting for everyone's answers.
Lumine: "Connections with people… connections with things… if I suddenly lost these, I might feel afraid, right?"
Paimon: "Wuwuwu, I can't imagine how I would live without Lumine, so I would be afraid!"
Raiden Ei: "If it were me, I would also feel afraid."
Venti: "Oh my, speaking of which, this is truly a cruel question."
Venti: "Humans are emotional beings. It's the emotions between us that link us together."
Venti: "And if we suddenly lost these, wouldn't we be very, very lonely?"
Venti: "Sigh, just thinking about it makes one want to drink until they're drunk!"
Acheron: "But… what if you no longer have emotions?"
Acheron: "Would you still feel regret, or loneliness?"
Venti: "Ah, this… probably not?"
....

"No emotions?"
"What exactly has this mysterious Miss Acheron experienced? Why do her words always give off a sense of… emptiness?"
Venti lay on the big tree, lost in thought.
"It seems that this Miss Acheron is also a person with a story."
In Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Zhongli sighed.
"Didn't they all say she was a Riddler? What kind of story could she have?"
Hu Tao turned to look at Zhongli.
"Riddler? No, not like that. From the video just now, she seems to have a unique, indescribable temperament about her."
"Based on universal rationality, it's unlikely that she's a so-called 'Riddler'."
Zhongli shook his head, not believing that Acheron was truly a Riddler.
"Is that so? Actually, I also feel that there's something strange about her."
"And her statements seem a bit nonsensical, but they all seem to implicitly point to something. In short, just as you said, guest advisor, she might really have an amazing past."
"I hope to see her past through the video."

Black Swan: "Hehe, everyone's answers are very sincere and precious."
Black Swan: "Then the second question. If there was a dream real enough, would you be willing to live in it?"
Lumine: "No! A dream is a dream after all, always fake!"
Paimon: "That's right, dreams can't replace reality!"
Lumine and Paimon had only recently escaped from the samsara dream of the Festival of the Goddess of Flowers(Sabzeruz Festival), naturally, they detested so-called dreams!
Dottore: "Heh, ignorant."
Dottore: "If a dream is real enough, then why isn't it another reality?"
Scaramouche: "I agree with that. Dreams may not necessarily be unable to replace reality, as long as there is corresponding great power!"
Nahida: "Fallacy. Dreams are dreams, reality is reality. Even if dreams are real enough, they cannot and should not be confused!"
Dr. Ratio: "I agree with that! The concepts between the two are inherently different. Comparing them is a foolish act."
Arataki Itto: "But, I mean, but!"
Arataki Itto: "If there really was such a beautiful dream, where you could live happily every day. Where you wouldn't have to worry about not having mora to spend every day, where you could hold beetle fighting competitions every day…"
Arataki Itto: "THEN HOW WONDERFUL WOULD THAT BE!!!"
Kuki Shinobu: "Boss, stop daydreaming, there won't be such a world!"
Sunday: "Miss, that's not necessarily true."
Sunday: "The world Mr. Itto yearns for aligns perfectly with the current Penacony!"
Arataki Itto: "What, there's really such a wonderful world?!"
Sunday: "If Mr. Itto is willing, I will reserve a permanent residency for Mr. Itto in Penacony. Consider this a small personal gift from me."
Arataki Itto: "Ahhhhh! Brother SUNDAY!! You're a friend for life!"
Arataki Itto: "Even the Kujou Tengu won't stop me, I said IT!!"
Kujou Sara: "…"
....
—✦In Between✦—
"Heh, in the end, there are still people willing to embrace beautiful dreams."
"And this confirms my thoughts. But now, with variables at play, will the paradise I hope for truly be built?"
Sunday gazed into the distance, his profound silhouette disappearing into the earth, stretching longer and longer…
