I really love the βTuned to the Worldβs Soundsβ event so far, I just wish the quest with Kazuha was a bit longer.
Heβs such an amazing character, and I enjoy it so much when he imparts his reflective wisdom on us. I also love that the quest showed us that Kazuha has received closure from his tragic past in Inazuma.
What I find more heartbreaking, is that Kazuha explains that when you play the Zither, you feel a sense of familiarity, as if someone is playing with you. The description of the Floral Zither states βan unpredictable strength has been woven into the ethereal strings that can even allow it to cause the illusions within the heart of its players to surfaceβ.
Seeing that the event consists of the Traveler playing with characters heβs met throughout his journey, itβs safe to assume that these are the illusions or the memory thatβs conjured up by the zither.
When you speak to Juza (Beidouβs co-captain I think) he explains that Kazuha has been in a more joyous mood upon the Alcorβs return to Liyue. Kazuha also tells the Traveler that after he found the zither in the cave, he played it so much that the instrument broke.
I really think that Tomo (unofficial name of Kazuhaβs friend) was the person / illusion that played with him when he played the zither. I feel like through the instrument heβs been able to spend more time with Tomo, as Kazuha was never able to say goodbye to him. The fact he played the instrument till it broke shows just how much he loves and misses him. I think Kazuha feels more at peace now and can move on from the past.
Another thing that I interpreted from the quest is that Kazuha realizes that if he kept the zither, heβd have a difficult time parting ways with his grief over Tomo, which is why he decided to give it to the Traveler (and knowing the Traveler is missing/searching for his sister, playing it would give him comfort).
Kazuha says at the end of the quest that if the Traveler doesnβt want the instrument anymore, heβd take it back, but also says that he hopes he never does give it back. I think thatβs because he knows if he were to have the zither back in his possession heβd never be able to let Tomo go.
This is all just my interpretation and analysis, but damn it really is a lesson in grief and bereavement.
Amazing story, canβt wait for more.
I just had this thought, because Kazuha metions that the Zither belonged to an adeptus, and that It required Glaze Lilies to be repaired. Zhongli's song "An Old Friend's Send Off" being the first one for us to play just raised my suspitions.
Obs: I know that we play it in front of Azdaha domain, and that it could be a reference to him, but when I read "send-off" I imagine someone who's already passed away. I can be wrong as EN is not my first language. Any thoughts?
Obs 2: There's a song in Genshin OST called Guizhong's Lullaby, if you haven't heard, might wanna check it out! It's beautiful.
Hey guys, as the title suggests, I am conflicted about which of these weapons to pick from the BP? Zither will obviously go to starlit astrologos while Kor will go to haxor bunny (since my hor has KOR) and nebulous will go to senti since I only have the raid gloves for her and I heard nebulous is better than her signature weapon for support on her. So what do you think?
I've seen videos of people using Hekate PRI instead of zither on SA, is it simply better?

Why didnβt they have a song with the missing twin? Couldβve put it at the first place we open in game or near the domain we reunite. Iβve almost lost interest in the twin tbh, which is disappointing bc thatβs the mcβs whole motivation
