Hey, now. All the stitching was so even that I went through it wondering if it was possible for whatever that wove them to make mistakes. [ but kaveh's attention shifts. he hadn't been there for sabzeruz. the details of that day - or, well, that entire debacle, really - had been told to him in such disparate little pieces and often through tighnari's entirely disapproving filter that kaveh still isn't entirely sure of the sequence of events that went down that day, and getting details out of alhaitham is like pulling teeth out of an avidyan spinocrocodile.

a dream, however. kaveh frowns. ]

And nothing here corresponds with our understanding of Teyvatian elemental theory, so it means that if this were a dream fueled by raw memory and imagination, it would have to be by people from a civilisation that isn't like ours. [ there isn't anything that contradicts this theory, kaveh thinks. or rather, to begin with, if this is the case, neither of them are in a position be able to see the contradiction. ] I'm still not yet convinced, but it's more convincing than all of this being built from scratch for the sole purpose of making us feel eerie. Our next step is to find people who are familiar with the make-up of a civilisation like the one we're supposedly inhabiting now, and see if they see any inherent contradictions that can be explained with or without dreams.
