Kaeya's relationship to the Ascension is, predictably, performed as effortless — he treats the whole event the way he treats everything, as material for charm, another excuse to flirt more openly than usual. What he doesn't advertise is that the season also strips away exactly the kind of careful self-control that keeps his real feelings — and his real history — locked down. For a man whose entire persona is a controlled performance, losing an inch of control is a much bigger deal than his easy exterior lets on.
