@@kindlingking alhaitham approached this discussion as a scholar and made some really great points about how any scholar is equally likely to follow the line of research followed by sachin and get involved in a way Kaveh's father did. I don't think he was necessarily being any more of a jerk in here in fact he broke it to him in a way Kaveh is able to handle best. Just my opinion. It didn't look like the intention was to piss him off to distract him from the real problem. Both of them are jerks to each other for no good reason to be honest. Kaveh riles him up for no good reason just as much. Yet they do things that only close buddies would do for each other. Probably just their dynamics as broken adults who are developing as individuals i suppose..

[@berryriirii8725]

Man, it's so much more depressing when we're the ones to tell him versus Alhaitham. Most people would probably pick the first option, right? I think Alhaitham knows how to break the news to him in a way that doesn't let Kaveh be stuck inside his own head. Like redirecting Kaveh's sadness/guilt/self-hatred away by arguing with him and teasing him. Honestly it's a good way to show how they care about each other despite all their intense bickering. Also for the love of god can we please get a Teyvat therapist?

[@10nsayantibiswas60]

If you don't realise Dori had especially stated to keep the information of Kaveh's father to ourselves, at begining I felt unsure which option to speak chose not to tell and as Alhaitham and Kaveh scene followed I realised it was right for me to not disclose something that is personal, and that Alhaitham breaking the news too him seems more right and also shows that they are close enough to share something that personal but also make one feel better after that oof- ISTG I LOVE THESE PPL THEIR SHIP FRIENDSHIP OR NOT I LOVE THEM AWOOO 0///0

[@berryriirii8725]

​@@10nsayantibiswas60 Oh, I didn't know the thing about Dori! I assume that most people would want to tell Kaveh the truth since it's only right for him to know, and it's not like we knew beforehand that Alhaitham would tell him. The first option isn't the "wrong" one necessarily (it's natural to pick it) but it ends the whole quest on a sad note which kinda sucks. I guess it's harder for the traveler to properly comfort him since we can't freaking talk and we're not as close to him? Idk :( Anyway, yeah you're right about Alhaitham and Kaveh's friendship being really likable. Like yeah they get into bitter spats and Kaveh wants to move out and everything, but in the next scene they casually talk about each other's habits and subtly show how much they pay attention to each other.

[@drysoup3017]

Lol, Raiden could've used the tevyat therapist. Though that may have been Miko...and if it wasn't she might have killed them

[@farhanatashiga3721]

​@@berryriirii8725 as another comment here puts it the flip side to choosing to just tell him right there and then is that he realized that he's not very different from his father. Sure having Al tell him and immediately distract him with philosophical bickering means things end in a funny way. However, it also means he didn't get to reflect on it all and so he just moved on without realising that going on the path he is on now will lead him to the same fate as his father anyway influence by Sachin or not. And so choosing to tell him ourselves meant that he now realized what's really wrong with himself and hopefully he could strive to change that moving forward.

[@heathersky333]

We have Nahida as the resident mother figure of Hat guy and sub therapist/counselor the entirety of sumeru city (as shown in her 1st story quest being a compassionate and kind archon) -- which is saying a LOT since it seems that before her release we can imagine the state of so many ppl in need of therapy yet there seems to be nobody to help in such a field.

Kaveh is a weird character. I feel like he's practically the main character of another story. Compare him to someone like Layla or even Tighnari and he seems way more fleshed out and well-designed. He reminds me of how hard they went on Xiao and Shenhe.

[@Allthingsasian]

It’s interesting too because in We will be Reunited they were ready to leave this world with their twin, it just goes to show that despite all the friends they made they feel like they don’t truly belong in Teyvat and all their interactions are superficial. We can even theorise the name we give them is a fake one and Aether/Lumine is their real name they don’t tell people to avoid close attachments. That’s just my headcanon tho…

[@Gaeshiete]

​@@Allthingsasian Its not really your Headcanon, we even see the Traveller's sibling calling Traveller by their real name, Aether. I'm pretty sure only the Abyss, Dainslief, Lumine, and Paimon know the Traveller's true name.

[@dropmelon]

@@Allthingsasian It’s not that they feel like they don’t belong. It’s just that canonically they know they will forget everyone once they leave the world behind. That’s why they always focused on finding their sibling. To a being that lives for millions upon millions of years, the scant amount of time spent in Teyvat is nothing.

[@sleepysera]

[@ForMeItsElis]

People have to learn to take bad news at some point in their life, you won't always have someone nice and caring at your side to break things down for you. That's why IMO the first option is the best one, besides most people preferred to let Alhaitham tell the news simply because they wanted to see them interact, which is pretty twisted in a way.

[@cresdc8481]

@Brurhh I think I'm not "most" because I felt, it wasn't my right to tell him. Alhaitham knew him better so it's better if he told it instead

[@sareiaxo]

⁠@@ForMeItsElis late but super long reply here but kaveh was someone who took endless blows of “bad news” with no one who was truly there with him (and if there were, their presence was brief). His father died and his mother fell into depression and soon left him alone, then the whole fallout with alhaitham happened which probably left him all alone all over again, and then that whole palace of alcazarzaray thing in which he asked no one for help and stayed homeless for over a fortnight, drinking his life away in the tavern until alhaitham found him and took him in. Believe me, he KNOWS what it feels like to not have anyone to “break it down” for him, and all he did was blame himself for everything. IMHO, he needs someone with him-someone like alhaitham-to ground him to see the reality of the situation, but not in a way that leaves him depressed afterwards. You could even argue that alhaitham is a necessary presence in his life, albeit he could be a little nicer sometimes. He essentially tells kaveh over and over again to not make trouble for himself. Heck, it even troubles ALHAITHAM-the man who apparently “doesn’t care” about things that don’t affect him-that people make troubles for themselves. Alhaitham, being the polar opposite of kaveh, can help kaveh realize things just like how kaveh can help alhaitham realize things. I feel that the longer these two stay with each other, kaveh will grow to have a stronger sense of self and hopefully learn better self-preservation skills, while not letting his guilt decide things for him all the time. I just wish alhaitham didn’t rub salt in kaveh’s wounds by bringing up “mansions” and “money” all the time, though. It kinda gives off a weird power dynamic-kaveh insults alhaitham’s social life (which obviously doesn’t affect alhaitham), but alhaitham insults Kaveh’s financial situation in return, which _does_ affect kaveh and has him in a chokehold. Frankly, it’s hard to watch their arguments considering how insensitive and rude alhaitham may come off sometimes (if not most of the time), but there are moments where I appreciate what alhaitham tells kaveh, because they are true, and kaveh realizes this himself. Of course this doesn’t mean that kaveh should give up chasing his ideals and wanting a better place for everyone, it’s just that kaveh shouldn’t be so self-sacrificing all the time and figure out better ways to approach things-preferably in a way where he _doesn’t_ harm himself.

The hard truth is bound to cause pain. Having a distraction (Alhaitham) will only delay the thoughts and healing process that lay only behind it.

"Who is right and who is wrong" I love that phrase coming from Alhaitham. At university (I study teaching language and literature) it is common for teachers to constantly tell us "there are no right opinions or wrong opinions, only different points of view."

​​@@susanafuentes8673 Agreed. Alhaitham may be a troll, but he's Kaveh's Ex-Bestfriend. He knows him better than ANYONE in Sumeru. He would know how important this information about *why* his father went out into the desert would be to Kaveh, but would also know him well enough to not allow him to wallow in his guilt and self loathing. Hence... he bickers with Kaveh, and then teases him, to get his mind off of his guilt. Not sure if he realized what he did in the last bit, but... it was much better than just telling him straight, like how the Traveller did it. Sometimes the blunt truth is far more harmful than telling it gently, or redirecting their attention to something else. These two are an interesting pair, and I think Alhaitham is a lot more caring to Kaveh than most like people think. Understandably, of course... but I read somewhere that someone thought the reason why Alhaitham is so cruel to Kaveh isn't because he actually *wants* to be. He just knows that if he was kind to him straight up, it would scare Kaveh off. The boy doesn't accept kindness from others, even when its just common decentcy.

Alhaitham is a kind person who cares about his friends in his own way, and he showed that long before Kaveh was added to the game.

Alhaitham is not one to hold grudges, seeing as he didn't hold one against Siraj who tried to kill him in his story quest, so it's safe to assume that despite their past misunderstanding, Alhaitham wouldn't just forget their friendship and let Kaveh suffer, seeing as he knows the pain of loss himself and knows, as Kaveh's former best friend, that Kaveh is a very emotional person who tends to be ruled by his emotions.

[@keruvin_KA]

Whatever you chose it doesn't matter. In the end he learn the truth anyways, there are no correct or wrong, good or bad ending. For those who chose option 1 be proud that you sympathize him by telling the truth. For those who chose option 2 & 3 be proud that you empathize for him to not hurt him. It just proves that you guys are kind human beings with a good heart. It's a matter of perspective on how you take the endings, and remember those are your own perspective. Just as Nahida said every perspectives are part of the truth. Whether they are positive or negative perspective, it doesn't decide which truth is the correct one. And just like Alhaitham said, sometimes being correct means nothing at all. In the end, these are just stories written by story writers that could have ended in any situation and doesn't give us any benefit whatsoever. I mean if they're lazy, they could've ended the lore right there when we hide the truth and Kaveh would never know the truth in his entire life lmao. So it's actually nice of them to create another scenario that eventually lead to the same conclusion and ending. So let us learn from this quest and remind ourselves to respect each other opinions, and not let opinion differences creates conflict which honestly is the sad reality of the internet right now. I believe by starting there, we could have more peaceful conversation with each other and try to reach on a solution or conclusion that can satisfy both parties instead of pointing fingers who are right or wrong. Peace out.

[@dreamysaga1738]

This comment made me feel a bit better of my choices. I choosed the first option because he needs to know the truth of what happened to his dad, after I told him I just felt..bad about telling him the truth. This is before I didin't know abou't the second ending when I looked it up, which I really wanted this ending and to hear between Alhaitham and Kaveh in the Japanese dub (I can't find it anywhere aside from english). But hearing from this, It doesn't matter. Regardless of point of views it's a sad reality, one way or another they will have to learn the truth.

[@TiaTam]

I do feel bad that he feels so guilty over what happened- But I definitely don't feel bad for telling him the truth. I didn't know he'd hear it either way, so I thought I'd rather tell him than him never finding out.

[@PichuElric]

In fact, I think telling him is the right thing to do, and I still didn't tell him because I'd rather he not get sad than learn the truth.

the traveler ending sucks so bad, he's just left depressed feeling even worse, when alhaitham broke the news to him he manged to cheer him up from the realisation that he did infact play a part in his father's death, just how does alhaitham do everything right all the time, how does his brain work??

[@amirtaktouk555]

Al-Haitham understands Kaveh more than anyone since they are roomates. He intentionally made him more (mad) so that he can focus on being angry and (hating) him instead of having that thought in his head that he's to blame and constantly feel sad and overthink. Kaveh knows this too, even though they argue all the time, they both care about each other in their own way. Especially the way they joke and so on... Pretty cool

[@AlbiniaYT]

@@amirtaktouk555 love this for them

[@cresdc8481]

@Amir Taktouk Aww. Imagine that, Alhaitham would rather let Kaveh hate him than hate himself.

[@KittyFAN13]

I skip all of Dori’s dialogues and still got Haitham to talk to Kaveh by not telling him myself. I just figured that it might have been best if Kaveh didn’t know at the time, I didn’t think that Haitham would’ve showed up and told him anyways but now I realized that I made the best choice.

[@prenimystic]

You think with suneru having free health care, they'd have therapists I don't want anyone to be sad 😭😭😭😭😭 I'm glad Alhaitham cheered Kaveh up It really shows they are friends deep down

[@TravellerZasha]

I was super busy to do the Day 1-2 investigation so Alhaitham automatically took over and for once i'm glad I had a busy lifestyle. Didn't even know this was an option. I think Alhaitham sharing the news was better for Kaveh because Kaveh is more familiar with Alhaitham. We've only met him 1-2 times and even now he might still have his guard up against us. Obviously you can see there's a difference with how Kaveh talked to us vs how he talked to Alhaitham. I as the traveler don't mind Professor Kaveh telling us his troubles but i'd be worried that he would ruminate these depressing thoughts and feelings, bottling them until he feels guilty.

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

Yeah... I am so sad that I missed out on seeing them bickering together. Boo.

[@narniadici1976]

Step 1: Laughing at the way Alhaitham teases Kaveh Step 2: The harrowing realization, like a cold bucket of water being thrown on you, that Alhaitham is teasing Kaveh so that Kaveh stops thinking about his guilt and doesn't believe himself to be the one to have caused his father's death.

[@tartnouveau3652]

While the conversation with the traveler seems more sad, than the one with Alhaitham, my hope in Kaveh’s character is that he will learn to forgive himself, as he was a child and his fathers fate is not his fault, and he’ll finally make peace with these feelings he’s held on to for so long. This was a really good event though. I never expected to see the character growth and stories that we did.

[@glam4663]

Poor Kaveh, he blames himself for his father's passing, when it was likely an unforeseen accident.

Same, I'm so sad I chose the "worst" ending 😭 I know it technically doesn't matter as it won't affect anything, but still... I wish Mihoyo would stop missable stuff and multiple options in one-time events. Next time I guess I'll have to wait a few days until all the guides are up 😑

[@klefleee]

​@@Drago-I-guess I don't think it's the worst. We are talking about a person, who almost died in a desert helping freaking desert foxes who lived there absolutely fine even without him. So I guess he should really think a bit and rearrange his priorities. By the way he failed at buying himself a house and still lives with Alhaitham, so in the end of the day - he will still give him emotional support.

[@isuka2312]

I immediately get Kaveh and Al-Haitham's conversation without traveler first cuz I skipped the Dori's quest until the event is almost over.. Glad I did it cuz if I were to choose between the options I would choose to tell Kaveh myself about his father's situation.

[@NarinDeliah]

At the end of the day, the endings kinda result to the same thing and it won’t rlly matter which option you choose since it won’t have any affect on the characters long term :/ I wish mhy would give the characters more development

[@scotu7075]

I’m glad Kaveh gets to learn the truth no matter the path

[@구르미-w3y]

I think not much people realize the Traveler isn’t really Kaveh's 'friend'. They talked a few times, Kaveh trauma dumped on them once, but they didn’t have any meaningful conversations or bonded over anything. When bad news is shared the who always matters. What's glaringly different is that in the first option, Kaveh, after spiraling for a second, puts on a strong front up for the Traveler. And that's the end of it. When he talks to Alhaitham, though, Alhaitham doesn't 'cheer him up' exactly; he prods Kaveh so that his 'idealism' (which he always criticizes so harshly) solidifies in a way that isn't self-harming. He makes Kaveh energized, determined, instead of leaving him to wallow like the Traveler, who has no idea what to do with Kaveh.

[@MiTsuRiN09]

My heart hurts thinking about how after 20 years he still blames himself, putting himself as the starting point of a butterfly effect that caused his dad's death. At least this event gave him some sort of closure. He got his kindness from his dad but too much kindness can be detrimental. Having Alhaitham as a stopper to it is 👏🏻 I giggled at him asking Kaveh to repeat thrice on the thanks 😂 you know they're best friends when the deadpan, serious Alhaitham acts cheeky

[@justme7410]

Ngl, I initially thought that Alhaitham’s relationship with Kaveh was a bit harsh. Sure, he lives in his house but why does he have to be so mean all the time? However, after finding out Kaveh’s story, their relationship seems more fitting. Alhaitham’s “infuriating” personality gives Kaveh a chance to think more selfishly about himself and takes his mind off of his charitable pursuits and trauma baggage. Alhaitham is probably doing this unintentionally as he always speaks his mind without care but I like to think he does it because he’s Kaveh’s friend too. I love this ship, platonic or romantic, it’s great.

[@yukiyurosaki]

reading comments try justify choosing 1st option tells me alot people don't know how theraphy works differently for different people. someone with self-loathing and depression will spiral down hard when hearing the truth from stranger( traveller, barely know kaveh and not close, awkward...this is a personal problem so Kaveh takes it VERY hard, cuz surprise! he get self-conscious when randoms know he staying at Alhaitham's house cause he's broke and in debt etc.) 2nd option definitely better cause if you aware how people are, Alhaitham as ex-bestfriend knows Kaveh's situation and very aware their friendship ended with Kaveh run away feeling wrong for being nice like his father; too kind that others take advantage of him. plus Alhaitham been letting kaveh to heal like c'mon, a roof to live under, even pay kaveh's tab at the tavern since he move in. nuff said they compliment each other like a mirror, idk how else to say Alhaitham is the best person breaking the news to Kaveh bout his father's situation

[@yukiyurosaki]

and i loathe these people "owh Alhaitham so toxic" please calm the fuk down. it not rocket science. he just comfortable being a junior to Kaveh, like kaveh mention Alhaitham have a personality, just he show to kaveh his cheeky side alot cuz they were best friends and BF usually will tease or try annoy eachother for fun. also, don't blind yourself Alhaitham did become commenter to look into Kaveh's dad last moments. heck in video he confronts Sanchi's son off camera; have connection to Kaveh's dad sudden change and actively go to desert without sharing his worry with Kaveh and his mom. so occupy being hateful you lose alot of braincells huh like deym

[@luciellawliet]

Man…now I feel kinda bad for telling him…but it just didn’t feel right to keep the truth for him, even if it hurt. I’m pissed we didn’t have any options to comfort him; I wanted to tell him so much, like how his dad would have been proud of him and how judging by the way Sachin smiled before he faded away, he passed the test with flying colors, and Sachin was hoping Kaveh would do what he did-

[@shyramohsin]

i'd rather not tell kaveh myself and allow al-haitham to tell him. some might believe al-haitham's tactic to piss kaveh off afterwards isn't good for kaveh mentally but let's not forget that mental health varier per person. what would be logically good for you, may not be logically good for another. this is speaking from personal experience too. if i were kaveh, i'd have many reasons why i wouldn't want traveler to tell me. i'd rather not be told of that by someone who isn't my close friend. even with the hang outs, while you may think traveler and kaveh got closer, if you see the way kaveh and al-haitham's friendship actually is, it doesn't hit anything. as someone who has my closest friends vs everyone else, it feels like traveler fits more in the "everyone else" compared to the "closest friends" which al-haitham is. if an "everyone else" told me the truth, the absolute shame of having a stranger know (which kaveh has a massive pride and shame regarding) when that stranger hasn't even been looking into it, as far as you know, nor should have any inkling, is j bonkers. not to mention, al-haitham's tactic of pissing kaveh off helps especially when kaveh is known to be someone who has been boggled down and pushed to the edge due to his ideals. if kaveh was left alone to "process his emotions", babes, there's a possibility this man is j going to shut down and be unable to proceed with tomorrow. al-haitham would know kaveh best as his close friend for many years, and now his roommate as well. despite what everyone says, at the end of the day, even with many fights, these two return home knowing each other are there, and there's this stability that comes with that, which is something important for someone as kaveh who is always floating with his ideals and who rips himself apart for others.

[@cresdc8481]

Thanks to one reddit post, I was able to know there are different endings. I eventually pursued to get option 3, with Alhaitham saying it. Seems better this way

[@Yen-jw1ls]

In a way. kaveh's dad death might have stopped kaveh from ending up the same way. his father death and his own suffering from guilt have lead him to reject the offer in the first place and without these he might have follow his father and sachin attempt in the desert. tho nahida and hat guy could watch over kaveh as he continue sachin's research they can't watch him 24/7 and knowing how similar he is to his father he would risk his life in the desert and later die. also, since he is similar to sachin even if kaveh did survive the desert he could still become depress to the point of neglecting his own family and then commit suicide 😢

[@herenqueer6438]

the third ending is the one i got. I felt like the Traveler wasn't too close with Kaveh, and last time we saw him (in Alhaitham's story quest) Paimon tried to get mora off him. the lasting impression of that would make it harder to break the news. plus Alhaitham knows Kaveh as a person, him breaking the news made sense and it made things feel better (if you ask me)

[@KwehShiro]

Theres more ending than the haitham and kaveh talking one??? Tf. Tbh i wish there was only that ending, because this small conversation helped shape their relationship better outside of their annoying bickering.

[@M星の水晶]

Aw... now I'm upset. the third ending was more wholesome. (I got the first ending) shows why the two are friends despite being polar opposites. Despite Alhaitham sharing such depressing news, he knows how to help Kaveh cheer himself up using his own optimism.

I accidentally got ending 2: while I certainly noticed Dori and interacted with her, I somehow failed to realize she had quests despite doing them - since I was trying to work out of my habit of immediately hitting the button when a quest changed to look at the changes (which keeps cutting off voice lines I can't hear again because they're not part of a cutscene and thus generally aren't recorded in the quest log even when they aren't part of an event storyline) they felt like a natural part of the main quest line. I discovered Dori had her own quests right after seeing but before going near Kaveh and Alhaitham and immediately did the remaining parts... which as it turns out does not let you avoid that conversation. Thanks again for covering these.

[@hr6439]

I kind of don't like any of the endings in this event. When you choose to tell him yourself he goes to self blaming mode. And event just ends. We don't know whether he will come out of it or not. Yes, it is good that he faces atleast one problem straight away but we kind of abandon him after such heavy punch. When we don't do Dori's quest all of his fathers story simply becomes matter of fact kind of thing. It is treated as something miniscule. Option three seems better but Alhaitham claims to be blunt person but he is never blunt with Kaveh. And not letting Kaveh self reflect on the matter isn't going to help him in the long run. Alhaitham tells him the news, he gets sad, Haitham distracts him and all the thoughts that should've been processed right away go to back of the head. At first it seems good, but considering that Kaveh willingly ignores and endures his pain till it will get better, chances are high that he will never face this issue head on either. After all he gave similiar advice to Layla too. And with this news he could undrstand that it wasn't just Sachin's research that lead to his father's demise but also both his father's and his way of thinking. I don't want players, especially the younger ones, to come out of this story quest with the idea of self blaming themselves or ignoring their problems as solution for the issues they are facing. It is better to construct good support system. And yes we all face what Sachin faced with his research but nihilism won't be the solution, and making smaller goals that matter for your own life matter more than some grandious world changing idealogies.

[@spyrothetimelord]

Glad I chose the first one. Since no one knew of the multiple endings, I'm glad that I had my traveler chose to tell him (even if we don't know the exact words used) because having the full info gives him all the info he needs to have full closure as time goes on. Also allows our traveler to continue with their journey as someone recording the memories and stories of the people there, as well as continuing to be the kindhearted person who helps everyone they come across
