Furina feels the same way—dear Qiu has turned into hateful Qiu again.
But when she says Lucian is bad, it's coquettish; now her disgust toward the Grand Sage is genuine.
She punches the torn-out illustration of the Grand Sage with her little fists!
Furina even specially puts the photo on a hug pillow, worried about hurting her hands.
Glancing at the group photo with Lucian beside her, and the group photos with everyone, Furina without exception turns all the photo frames face down.
Don't want to see you for now! Hmph!
As a fellow old artist, Furina can be said to be one of the people in all of Teyvat who empathizes the most.
Ordinary people might not feel the emotions revealed in Nilou's dance, but she can read them all.
So at this moment, Furina is broken—she truly empathizes.
No choice, Neuvillette, hurry and look!
Without even changing out of her little slippers, Furina grabs the book and runs to find Neuvillette.
Raiden Ei also empathizes similarly; she is in low spirits too. Though Ei isn't an old artist and can't read the emotions revealed in the dance.
But she still remembers the dance Yae Miko performed for her that night—the emotions and feelings then were real.
Putting herself in that position now, Raiden Ei naturally empathizes, missing Miko a bit.
Coincidentally, after finishing this story, Yae Miko also misses her god and is planning to come find her.
You know, Ei this shut-in generally doesn't go out; she needs the Palace Secretary to bring food to feed her.
And at this time, Yae Miko has prepared Ei's favorite tricolor dango and dango milk for her.
She knows her god will definitely be sad after reading this story, so bring some sweet things for her to eat. Don't be sad~ my god.
But before eating, taking photos—I won't hold back, hehe.
With these photos, she should be able to exchange for some interesting stories from Lucian again.
Speaking of which, unlike Furina, what Raiden Ei empathizes with is actually more from Nahida's perspective.
And Nahida naturally finished watching the dance too; her tears not yet wiped, but she shows a smile.
This scene is quite rare; the expression of smiling through tears is even more exquisite. Lucian recorded it all—surely Nilou and Dunyarzad would pay a price to buy it, hehe.
After all, the two of them are Nahida's devout believers; this photo is no different from the Bible to them.
Barbara, another devout believer, is still wiping tears at this time. Like Furina, she is also an old artist.
But unlike Furina, she is a believer, so she can empathize even more with Nilou.
They are too similar, and precisely because they are too similar, Barbara fully understands Nilou's feelings. She is happy for her and cries for her.
Miss Nilou, may the Anemo God bless you!
In fact, Sangonomiya Kokomi, another Hydro one, feels a bit sentimental too.
How to put it—these Hydro girls are somewhat similar; they are all 'old artists.'
And precisely because of that, the empathy among them might be the strongest.
So it's normal for Hydro element holders to have overflowing Hydro element, right?
Not to mention them—even Shenhe feels a wave of depression. She's seen scenes like this.
Now everyone just wants to say to the Grand Sage: Who says this dance isn't good! This dance is amazing!
Itto shouts loudly: "Woo woo ah ah ah!!!"
He is really so sad, so angry! He clearly had the chance to kick the Grand Sage a couple more times back then—how did he not do it!!
Navia is crying too, but fortunately she kicked a lot and doesn't regret as much as Itto.
But she's still not satisfied; she wants to kick the Grand Sage a couple more times.
This isn't the coquettish kicking like with Lucian—this is real force!
Navia: I have natural divine strength!
And besides these two Geo ones, there's another person named Kaveh who is regretting at this time.
Back then, manners were too high—didn't even go up to squeeze a bit!
Kaveh asks: "Alhaitham, aren't you the acting Grand Sage now?"
Alhaitham glances at Kaveh: "What do you want to do? In theory, I don't support private punishment."
He thought Kaveh was going to secretly find the Grand Sage to vent—such things are not supported in theory, in theory.
Kaveh shakes his head: "What private punishment? I mean, can I kick you once?"
Grand Sage, acting Grand Sage—anyway, it's acting; this one can act as substitute too?
Satisfy two wishes at once—convenient!
Then Kaveh holds the book and stands at the door. Tonight, he needs to consider where to sleep—looks like kicking him out is the real convenient thing.
The reason he still holds the book is because there's a little tail of the story left unread.
The Traveler and Paimon in the story wake from the dream, brains still not clear.
As memories gradually clarify, their first reaction is to run out to find Dunyarzad.
They go exactly to that old place where they can see Nahida every loop—over a hundred loops, truly an old place.
In this place where they often meet, Katheryne (?) is standing here.
[Katheryne (?): Gentle tone: "Well done, Traveler, Paimon."]
With her saying this, everyone immediately sees—she is Nahida!
["And... thank you, Dunyarzad, for organizing the Sabzeruz Festival for me."]
At this moment, Dunyarzad is lying on the bed beside—Nahida saved her!!
[Paimon almost cries: "Dunyarzad! Woo... woo... you're fine! Don't scare us..."]
[Traveler: "Dunyarzad..."]
Lumine is a big kid now; too embarrassed to directly pounce.
[Dunyarzad's tone somewhat joyful: "Oh~! Traveler, little Paimon! Listen to me!"]
["I just had a dream... dreamed that Nilou was dancing the 'Dance of the God of Flowers'!"]
She happily shares her beautiful dream with everyone—beautiful things are meant to be shared with liked people.
But this sentence's killing power is a bit strong, directly releasing all the accumulated emotions from the whole story segment.
Tears flow, but not from sadness—from being moved.
'Dawn Brought by a Thousand Roses · End'
The story ends; the readers are very satisfied. This story is very complete—complete enough that without remaining foreshadowing, it feels like the Sumeru story concluded.
And at the story's end, it even mends the regret—Dunyarzad didn't die.
Rare—Shikikan's story actually has a time without regrets. Readers wonder if Lucian has changed his nature.
Will the Sumeru stories all be this heartwarming? No regrets later?
The only thing dissatisfaction is that Lucian at the end writes the Traveler talking with Katheryne but doesn't write the content.
Clearly there's more story later—the problem is Lucian went on hiatus!
What is the following content? What did they say? What exactly does the Akademiya want to do?
How to join Nilou's fan group? Lucian, why say nothing! We want to unfollow now and follow Nilou!
Are black fans not fans?
