[It's not at all what he expected to hear, but then, he wasn't sure what he was expecting in the first place.]
[But while it answers some questions he's long had about just why a rift exists between Kaeya and Diluc, at least to some extent, it only spawns further questions. Kaeya, left in Mondstadt as Khaenri'ah's last hope... but then, what was the Abyss Order doing? What of Lumine's plans to fight destiny? Or of the mechanized God, that's seemingly been in the works for decades, if not longer? What kind of "hope" could they have, with a plan like that?]
[Could there be two factions working for different causes? ]
[It feels like too much to wrap his brain around right now. But maybe, with everything out in the open, they might just figure things out, at least a little.]
...why wouldn't I trust you, when you're trusting me with all of this?
[The thought doesn't even cross his mind. It would take a lot to shake the trust that Aether has in Kaeya. Surely if he had any ill-intentions towards him, he would have taken advantage of that while diving into his soul. For all that it was hardly a positive experience, in the end, it did leave a positive impression.]
But there's a part of the story that you're missing. Because there's no way my sister joined the Abyss Order recently.
It's possible... she's been with them from the very start.
