I used to know but I'm not sure now what I was made for what was I made for?

"I have the sinking suspicion you've come here for an IMPORTANT reason?" He didn't seem like the sort that just wanted to admire the scenery.

ㅤㅤ❝ I'm certainly NOT HERE FOR SIGHTSEEING, ❞ㅤKazuma confirms off-handedly, but deliberately does not elaborate further on the matter. Godhood did not serve as a free pass to sensitive information — perhaps more so if you knew firsthand that the divine at large could rarely be trusted. Were he not sent here with a purpose, he would have avoided her altogether.ㅤ❝ I came here on behalf of the Akademiya. ❞ㅤA harmless half-truth, given that the puppet's endeavors tied into Sumeru's interests nowadays.ㅤ❝ Granted, I didn't think I would happen to cross paths with the infamous Focalors. ❞

"do you prefer a certain flavor? valberry and apple is a favourite of mondstadt."

ㅤㅤ❝ I'm no native to Mondstadt, so it makes no difference to me. ❞ㅤYet in spite of his seemingly unwelcoming words, perhaps it was the underlying desire to please others which gave the doll a momentary pause — for even if their motives differed, that yearning to be of use was all too familiar to him. Thus he shifts back, conceding in the end.ㅤ❝ — APPLE, I suppose? From what I've heard Valberries are too sweet for my tastes, and I doubt you would be able to procure my favored flavor. It's only found in Inazuma, after all. ❞
