theyre going to undo phanes damage by revealing that the dragons aren’t actually the natives of teyvat and humans came before them so phanes was right all along the classic plot twist
I still don't want Phanes to be a Phainon expy tho, for OBVIOUS reasons.
But the more I play the world quests in Snezhnaya, the harder it is for me not to think of Khaslana specifically as Phanes.
Moral of the story is that a Kiana always need a Mei and a Mei always need a Kiana otherwise they will burn themselves up for the sake of others with the most gentle of smiles
