  1. It's so beautiful, the storytelling of their similar journeys but being 500 years apart and having different experiences due to the events around them and their traveling companions.
    Someone else mentioned that being just off the heels of the Khanri'ah disaster Dain was probably grieving himself, unable to open up to Lumine in any meaningful way until it was too late, and she was…'dispelled' we'll say. Whereas Aether and Paimon became fast friends and close throughout the entire journey, nothing too cataclysmic happened like in Dain's case.

  2. You know what makes it much sadder? Lumine probably thought that her brother actually died And gave up in desperation. Not only it shows the different between outlander and descender, but also answers her reactions on first seeing Aether after so long (in trailer back then). She literally though him dead for 500 years? 😢

    I agree, while Paimon was always there to cheer up and at least attempt to support Aether in his journey (Granted, a heavy food bill attached). Lumine on the other hand, becoming more and more depressed in her journey as Dainsleif was such a downer of a travel companion, her eyes are dead even during Lantern Rites as shown in the video

  4. I do wonder, what was our siblings journey about? We are looking for our sibling, but what were they looking for? Did Dain just lead them on this trip? Was our sibling looking for us? Or did they think we were dead? So many questions so little time…

  5. Idk if getting Dainslief is luckier. That dude is grieving and depressed after losing everything in khanriah. You cant blame him for seemingly all business and emotionally distant. They do not look happy together. It is probably contributing factor for abyss twin turning eventually. When all you see is darkness and your companion also only sees darkness hard to really not turn into it

    Meanwhile Paimon while a chatterbox and is expensive as hell tries to do her to cheer up traveler and be the companion in all the loneliness. And she actually makes traveler smile and laugh. She's the one thing keeping the chosen traveler sane and sometimes happy.

  6. I would never trade Paimon for Dainsleif. As cool as Dainsleif is, I want joy and curiosity and happiness in life. Paimon is all of that, she is what keeps us connected to people and to the world, so we don't slide into the darkness and loneliness.
