[What does he feel?

As a Vision holder, he would normally be granted a greater sensitivity to elemental energy than others. And while most of Teyvat is touched upon by the elements in some way or another, there's a different sort of spiritual sensitivity that it doesn't assist with. He couldn't sense a ghost or consciousness locked away, or know someone is a youkai. And how does one quantify something they don't truly experience as an absence? The world does not feel less quiet to him for it. He can be told that he is, in a way, blind, but he's unable to truly feel the lack of it.

So he answers:] Nothing.

[ And Kai just nods, looking unsurprised. Or as close as he can get to it with his current features. ]

It's weird, right? The emptiness.

[ Maybe it would be even worse if he was at full power. Maybe it's better to not entirely know what he's missing. But either way it's good to know it's not just him. ]

The lack of overall life besides ourselves is strange. [He can agree to that much.] Have you ever seen a place like this before?

[catmemes]

Like this? No.

[ Not that he's seen all that much, but still. Kai is aware enough of both the spirit community and the various online cryptid groups that he's fairly sure he would have heard of something like it. ]

Even abandoned places have echoes, usually. Not just...nothing.

I see. [It's all a small piece of the puzzle, that this place is spiritually anemic, but it is a piece. Only with enough of them slotted together will they reveal the picture.]

... You're not going to get tired of being pet anytime soon, are you?

[catmemes]

No. Why?

[ And he is indeed still pressing himself as close to Alhaitham's hands as he can get. The conversation is a good distraction and all, but Kai has a very clear goal here. ]

I have other things I want to do. So if you still want attention, you're going to have to come with me.
