Dialogue

Dialogue Set #1

Available before completing Transient Dreams

Tang Wen: ...
Tang Wen: Ah, hello. I was thinking about something, and I didn't notice you. Sorry.
Icon Dialogue Talk White What's on your mind?
Tang Wen: I'm thinking of the current situation of Inazuma and the Raiden Shogun's policies...
Tang Wen: I couldn't return to my hometown to see the Rite of Parting due to the Sakoku Decree, but somehow, I also happened to witness a turning point in Inazuma's history.
Tang Wen: Ah, I'm so sorry. I forgot to mention that I'm a historian from Liyue. Although I can't go home for now, I did get a chance to document the change of policy in Inazuma. It's been such a blessing in disguise.
Tang Wen: Hmm... About these policies. I still cannot come up with a final conclusion. I think that in order for us to judge a piece of history, we must document it completely first.
Tang Wen: Therefore, I have decided to stay here for a while and witness future developments in Inazuma.
Icon Dialogue Talk White What was Inazuma like before?
Tang Wen: I think using words like happy or joyful to describe the Inazuma locals back then isn't really accurate... A more appropriate word would be "vigorous."
Tang Wen: The Inazuma locals before the lockdown would still worry about life's troubles. However, they had a vigor then that cannot be matched now.
Tang Wen: People are indeed living stable and peaceful lives, but if you look at the closed borders, the closed shops, and the patrolling samurai who go around seizing Visions... I don't think that anyone can feel at ease in such an oppressive situation.
Tang Wen: And this is not to mention those people whose life took a drastic turn after they lost their Visions.
Tang Wen: Does the Raiden Shogun, who seeks Eternity, really desire an Inazuma that looks like this...
Icon Dialogue Talk White So, what have you heard about the Rite of Parting?
Tang Wen: To be honest, I was really terrified when I learned about Rex Lapis' passing in a letter from Liyue...
Tang Wen: Aside from being shocked, I also somehow felt regret that I was not in Liyue at such a crucial moment.
Tang Wen: I could only write to my family and my fellow researchers, asking them to document what happened at that time...
Tang Wen: Ah, Rex Lapis lived through thousands of years. If he were still around and saw what's happened in Inazuma, I wonder what he would say...
Icon Dialogue Talk White Goodbye.
Tang Wen: Goodbye. Perhaps we shall all witness history yet.

Dialogue Set #2

Available after completing Transient Dreams, while she is located in Inazuma

Tang Wen: ...
Tang Wen: Ah, hello. I was thinking about something, and I didn't notice you. Sorry.
Icon Dialogue Talk White What's on your mind?
Tang Wen: I'm thinking of the current situation of Inazuma and the Raiden Shogun's policies...
Tang Wen: I couldn't return to my hometown to see the Rite of Parting due to the Sakoku Decree. But on the other hand, I also happened to witness a turning point in Inazuma's history.
Tang Wen: Ah, right, sorry. I forgot to mention this before, but I'm a scholar of history from Liyue. I'm presently in Inazuma to record the changes occurring here.
Tang Wen: Hmm... Still, I've yet to reach a final conclusion regarding these policies. I think that in order for us to judge a piece of history, we must document it completely first.
Tang Wen: As such, I 've decided to remain here for a while and witness future developments in Inazuma.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Tell me about the changes occuring in Inazuma...
Tang Wen: Ever since the Sakoku Decree was abolished, I can feel "life" returning to Inazuma.
Tang Wen: You can see it on people's faces, the way they once again shine with a happiness that can only come from within.
Tang Wen: I believe that this Inazuma reflects the true goal of the Raiden Shogun, who seeks Eternity...

Tang Wen: Aside from being shocked, I also somehow felt regret that I was not in Liyue at such a crucial moment.
Tang Wen: I could only write to my family and my fellow researchers, asking them to document what happened at that time...
Tang Wen: Ah, Rex Lapis lived through thousands of years. Were he still to see what's happened in Inazuma, I wonder what he would say...
Icon Dialogue Talk White Goodbye.
Tang Wen: Goodbye. Perhaps we are witnessing history as it is being made.

Dialogue Set #3

Available after completing Transient Dreams, while she is located in Liyue

Tang Wen: ...
Tang Wen: Ah, hello. I was thinking about something, and I didn't notice you. Sorry.
Icon Dialogue Talk White What's on your mind?
Tang Wen: I'm thinking about how times can change oh so quickly...
Tang Wen: Just like how I couldn't return to Liyue to see the Rite of Parting due to the Sakoku Decree, and yet I also happened to witness a turning point in Inazuma's history.
Tang Wen: Ah, right, sorry. I forgot to mention this before, but I'm a scholar of history from Liyue. My greatest wish is to see history with my own two eyes.
Tang Wen: It is my belief that in order for us to judge a piece of history, we must first document it completely.
Tang Wen: My time in Inazuma has really got me thinking about how history can be winding, and yet change so very suddenly, too...
Tang Wen: Fortunately, I'm no longer some student who needs to worry about her next thesis.
Tang Wen: Those graduate students who had Inazuman history as their subject are probably in for it now: in the worst case, they might even have spend [sic] several sleepless nights rewriting their theses.
