Mitya | Are You There?
Oh! There you are. I've been waiting for you.

✦ᅠᅠ
ᅠᅠ
If you're reading this, then my little experiment worked.
Hello, whoever you are!ᅠ
ᅠᅠᅠᅠ
ᅠᅠ
ᅠᅠ
✦ AN UNIDENTIFIED CONNECTION ✦
ᅠ
ᅠ
ᅠ
ᅠ
STATUS: SIGNAL DETECTED
SOURCE: UNKNOWN
RECIPIENT: ...YOU?

“Oh! There you are. I've been wondering when you'd open this.”
...
“Hm? Can you hear me?”
“Oh, wonderful! Well, I assume you can. I haven't quite worked out how to verify that yet.”
“Ahem! Hello! My name is Mitya. Though, judging by the fact that you've found your way here, I suspect you might already know that.”
“That's rather unfair, actually. You seem to know quite a lot about me, and I haven't even learned your name!”
“You see, I've been conducting a rather peculiar investigation. It started with the Traveler. Extraordinary individual, really! But the more I studied their abilities, the more I noticed something... unusual.”
“A presence. Something that seemed to follow them everywhere, yet couldn't be observed through any conventional means.”
“At first, I wondered whether it might have something to do with Celestia. But the evidence was... inconclusive.”
“And then I found something even more interesting.”
“I found you.”

“Well, I think I did. That's what we're here to find out!”

✦ PROPOSED EXPERIMENTS ✦
ᅠ
“Oh! Before we begin, I've prepared three little experiments for us. You wouldn't mind helping me test them, would you?”
ᅠᅠ
ᅠ
01 / SIGNAL DETECTED
FIRST CONTACT
“Let's see if you can hear me.”
Mitya has detected an inexplicable presence accompanying the Traveler. After countless failed attempts to identify its source, he tries addressing it directly.
For the first time, someone in Teyvat is speaking to you.
02 / OPEN CHANNEL
COMMUNICATION ESTABLISHED
“Now that we're talking, I have a few questions.”
Mitya has discovered a reliable way to communicate with you. Naturally, he has an unreasonable number of questions about your world, your knowledge, and the peculiar relationship between you and the Traveler.
Congratulations. You've become his favourite research subject.
03 / CONTROL TRANSFER
BORROWED BODY
“This one might be a little ambitious. How do you feel about borrowing my legs?”
After establishing a degree of trust, Mitya agrees to an unusual experiment: allowing you to guide his movements.
What happens when someone from beyond Teyvat's observable boundaries is given control of a body within it?
Well, there's only one way to find out.
“...Though perhaps we should establish a few safety precautions first.”

ᅠ
ᅠ
✦ A LITTLE INTERRUPTION ✦
ᅠ
“Oh! What's all this? A request?"
"Hold on... someone specifically requested that I investigate you?”
"... @SovaSPeryshkom?"
“...Well, whoever you are, thank you! This has been a fascinating discovery!””
“Though I do have one question...”
“How did you know I'd find them?”

ᅠ
✦ ONE LAST THING... ✦
ᅠ
ᅠ
“...Hello?”
“Hm. Still nothing.”
“Oh, wait a moment.”
“I think I've worked it out! You can't respond to me from here, can you?”
“There's something between us. Some sort of barrier preventing you from answering...”
“...Wait. Is that a button?”
ᅠ
ᅠ
“Aha! There we are!”
ᅠ
“It should look something like this, if my calculations are correct!”
ᅠ
“Go on, give it a try! I'll be waiting.”
ᅠ
“...Oh, and don't worry. I'm reasonably certain it won't explode.”
