Guys, don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Yes, the 6.6 plot leaks are indeed painful, VERY sad, and hopeless, but let's not forget that Hoyo likes to stall for time. (And it would be very unprofitable for them to kill him off completely. Perhaps this is so that we'll spend the wishes we've accumulated on Dottore out of anger and sadness, and then suddenly they'll announce him as playable and force us to donate.) Also, we need to remember how much time and effort Hoyo spent on Dottore, even changing his head model in the Nod-crai storyline, while not doing so for any other character (Diluc, Itto, and Albedo are examples). We can also recall how well they wrote Zandik's notes in Sumeru and that they dedicated an event to him. You can recall those photos from Smollttore where he's upside down, and then soon after, a photo of the shadows of future game characters was posted, where the upside-down shadow looked very similar to Dottore's. Then you can recall the official art with Omega, Webttore, and Zandik, as well as his official chibi version on the Chinese stream, and this is very important (even though it honestly looks like a parting gift to us💔). Maybe all this will seem stupid, and I'm just trying to reassure myself, but we must JUST not lose heart and not give up, and continue to believe that Dottore will be a game character, even if he doesn't have memories. Just wait, guys🩵 ✊
