[ YEAH VENTI U BETTER KNOW YOUR WIVES ]
Do I have to be a good singer? I was told I am "tone-deaf."

Well, it would be very silly to walk out on a house full of people I love, wouldn't it?

[ Chuckling a little, though it's more wry than mirthful ]
Well, it's hardly the old man's fault, even if he is usually to blame.
[ #notbiased ]
It's a good thing though, I think. That he's returned to Teyvat.

Mm . . .
[ Selfishly -- it does suck. But he can't bring himself to whine about it, despite whining about the slightest inconvenience most of the time. ]
Our story has gone like that from the very beginning. Meetings and partings.
Prior to our meeting in Tokyo-F, I hadn't seen him in centuries.

[ How strange. The kitchen's lights are off and the room appears to be empty. A bottle of wine, at least, is clearly visible on the table. ]
[ He approaches the wine, but . . . where is GIRLFRIEND? ]
Eh . . . ? Lumine?
Eh . . . ? Lumine?
. . . Well.
I'm sure we'll meet again, as we always do -- somewhere, in some world.

[ Immediately he thinks, But you might not. They might be able to stay here after everything's been taken care of, and they might be able to go home, too; but they might also go to sleep one night and find themselves somewhere else entirely, and it wouldn't be that difficult for Venti to get trapped somewhere without Zhongli. Especially without the one he knew in Tokyo-F.
...But that's not really the point, is it?
So he's going to get an arm around Venti's narrow shoulders and tug him into a side hug. ]
You're probably right. [ Soft. ] But so what? That doesn't mean you can't be upset right now.
[ Doesn't mean you can't ask for or don't deserve comfort right now. ]

On the contrary, it was rather informative. They explained the condition "tone deafness" with an acceptable amount of detail, and now I am able to comprehend the concept.
[ Which may or may not be...the point...
Nen's just happy they learned something new. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER etc. ]

[ Venti is aware of all these possibilities, of course. Acutely aware.
But to worry about that constantly . . . it would certainly eat into any happiness he tries to eke out in this place. ]
Honestly, you . . . you're incorrigible.
[ . . . ]
I guess I am pretty upset.

You two sound wonderful for each other.
Is it something you'd like to do again?
