The scene starts with two shooting stars that were drawn in the sand, a crab was seen standing at the corner.

“So...what you’re trying to say is that you fell here, from another world?” a familiar, high pitched voice spoke out.

"Woah!" 

"Amazing…!"

"How's it doing that?" Amber exclaimed in surprise, as she voiced out the one question that was on everyone's mind.

'That's what we call a video screen, it will be the instrument that I will be using to project the future to you all. It's a screen that's being fed information to display what you're seeing now. It's a common sight to see in my homeworld.' Sine quickly explained.

"Interesting…" Albedo muttering to himself, as an awestruck Klee was sat right beside him.

"That was Paimon's voice just now, right?" Yoimiya noted.

"Oh! Am I the narrator?" Paimom beamed, her starry eyes lit up.

"No, I don't think so," Aether snorted as he saw Paimon physically deflate on his lap. "Don't you remember, we had this conversation before."

"Oh, yeah! That time at the beach." 

“But uh, the...v-video. It stopped,” Sucrose spoke up, looking at the now paused screen.

'I will pause the video if too many people are talking at the same time, it would be be pretty inconvenient if you miss out any important information

"That's kinda handy," Thoma remarked.

"Certainly, I wouldn't want to miss anything important~" Lisa added, as she let herself be comfortable and observe as much as she can.

The two shooting stars are shown as their golden streaks paint across Teyvat's sky, passing above Mondstat and Liyue.

Mona's eyes widened, she remembered reading something about a pair of golden stars falling from the sky once in a book sometime ago. The problem is she can't recall when the event had happened.

She looked over to where the traveler was sitting. Just what is he?

“But when you wanted to leave and go onto the next world…” Paimon continued her narration.

As the twins found themselves in a white bricked platform suspended in the sky. 

“Hey that's your sister, isn't it?” Paimon asked quietly, getting a solemn nod from Aether in reply.

Lumine...

Amber grabbed a hold of her friend's shoulder, squeezing it gently, forcing Aether out of his thoughts. “Hey, you’ll find her eventually. I’m sure of it.” the outrider gently reassured the traveler.

"Thanks," a ghost of a smile tugged at the corners of Aether’s lips.

A red rift opened between the blue open sky, red lightning crackling with energy, Paimon spoke once more, “Your path was blocked by some unknown god?”

In front of the twins, stepping out from the strange rift in the sky reveals a woman with long platinum blonde hair and golden eyes.

“Outlanders. Your journey ends here.” The Unknown God declared an impassive expression plastered on her face, as she closed the rift.

“Eh?!” Yoimiya's voice broke through the sea of confused murmurs.

Ei merely glared at the Sustainer, her eyes glowed a dangerous purple hue.
