  Summary

  Vala has been a Genshin Impact lore fanatic for months now, but they haven’t played the game until now. They knew a lot about Teyvat and its people. Secrets that no one in Teyvat but the person keeping them knew of, knowledge considered “forbidden”, and rejected by the world completely, and much, much, more. Val never thought it would matter that they knew any of this. The world didn’t exist, and couldn’t reject their knowledge. Neither did the characters who were keeping secrets, so they couldn’t care that someone knew.
