Summary
If Lynette truly cared as little for her brother's feelings as she sometimes pretended she did, she would have pointed out that Tartaglia and the Traveler were not at all friends. Begrudging partners-in-crime, more like. Still, Lynette stayed quiet, feeling as if they were missing a piece of the puzzle. The one that tied the picture together, giving a clear view of the man Aether truly was. At that moment, Freminet gave a little gasp and looked up at his siblings.
“You don’t know,” he said, with those void-like eyes of his opened wide.
"Know what?"
(or; Lyney discovers why Aether hates the Fatui so much)

Summary
“Ah, I see. Well then, I should apologize–”
“What?” Aether barked out, speaking at a volume much louder than what was normal for the adventurer. He looked truly caught off guard by Lyney’s statement as if Lyney was being odd for expressing his apologies. Lyney hesitates, fearing that perhaps the signals he thought Aether was giving him were wrong, that he was being a fool once again. Before Lyney can say anything else, Aether cuts him off. “Sorry, I just… I was going to apologize.”
(or; Lyney and Aether find forgiveness, and maybe something more, at the end)

Summary
Lyney’s betrayal was familiar. Comfortable, even. It aligned with the ideas Aether had built along his travels. Watch your back, fight to survive, and do not trust the Fatui. People had betrayed Aether more times than the man could count, and he had long grown numb to the sensation of it. He knew not to get attached to people, to keep his guard up, because they would take advantage of him the second he relaxed. If Lyney was a bad person, then Aether would feel no guilt about turning his back on the magician and leaving him behind. But Aether knew the truth.
(or; Aether reflects on his time in Teyvat and his relationship with Lyney)

Summary
“Venti, this is Lyney, the best magician in Fontaine. Lyney, this is Venti, the best bard in Mondstadt.”
What kind of name even is Venti? Lyney thinks.
“Nice to meet you, my friend. Welcome to Fontaine,” he says instead. “Is this your first time in the City of Justice?”
(or; An old friend of Aether's comes to visit Fontaine, and Lyney is not amused)
