Darya's thoughts can be accessed by using Nahida's Elemental Skill, All Schemes to Know.
- Darya: (Researchers should spend less time talking convoluted garbage and more time doing actual work.)
Dialogue
- Darya: Isn't the continued growth of the Akademiya dependent on the education of future scholars?
- Darya: If we wait until there are no successors left, it will be too late already. We can't actually bring in researchers from the Nagarjunites, right?
You mean...
- Darya: The Akademiya recently cut back on the budget for education, and that rubbed me the wrong way.
- Darya: To better advance research and development, the Akademiya would recruit talented children at an early age.
- Darya: I'm the teacher for those children. Seeing them mature into accomplished researchers gives me immense pride.
- Darya: But if the Akademiya keeps shaving the budget, it will impact their education.
- Darya: Even from the point of maintaining our prestige, I still don't think it's right.
Did you come up with any solution?
- Darya: I will have to speak out if the Akademiya continues to cut funding.
- Darya: I've talked to Vikram. He also believes it's what has to be done to ensure the learning conditions for the children.

- The Nagarjunites?
- Darya: The Nagarjunites were a branch of the Akademiya from long ago.
- Darya: They were said to advocate strange ideals like "the transmission of knowledge at all costs" and "conflict is the natural order of Teyvat."
- Darya: In short, this school of thought has long broken away from the rest of the Akademiya. They're no longer on the same branch.
- Darya: Although they still seem to exist deep in the desert, most people have either never heard of them, or have, but consider them a myth.
- Darya: I'm just being angry, so don't take it too seriously. I believe that sooner or later the Akademiya will take the future of our children seriously...
- See you.
- Darya: Farewell. Someone has to speak out about this.
