There's no denying the fact that one of the other reasons he'd picked this place was because all the greenery reminded him of Sumeru, and the truth is that he misses it just as much as Kaveh. His husband's presence makes being here far more bearable... but they can both agree that it's still not the same as being home.]

[Because, in spite of that, despite everything... home may be back in Teyvat, in Sumeru, in the city where his house is, but it is also here, with Kaveh, in this place where they did not choose to come. But they have chosen each other, and perhaps in the end that is what matters the most.]
