"You want me to introduce myself? I've gone by many names and titles during my journey. Although each one is more eminent than any ordinary mortal could imagine, they're all just water under the bridge to me now. Call me whatever you like. Go ahead, let me see what you can come up with. Don't disappoint me.""There's no such thing as pure freedom in this world. Even the wind cannot blow on forever.""You think I've got a sharp tongue? I just tell it like it is. If someone can't handle it, maybe that's their problem.""There's no need to exchange pleasantries. It's rather pathetic to force a conversation just to occupy silence.""You want to use my hat as an umbrella? Hmph, the audacity to even make that request...""You're so happy just to see the sun again? How childish.""Huh. How irritating.""Fundamentally speaking, there's little difference between snow and rain, yet people lavish praise only upon the former... Fate can be truly arbitrary.""A simple breeze like this... Even you can conjure it, right?"""Rise and shine, sleepyhead, the sun's already in your eyes!" ...Haha, don't tell me you actually thought I'd wake you up like that?""I have no need for food. Save me the trouble and take care of yourself.""Finally, another boring day is drawing to a close.""What, can't fall asleep with me around? Hehe.""A puppet consumed by a raging fire will leave behind ashes. As for what will emerge from them...""I'll leave that kind of thing to fate. Obsessing over something that's destined to be ever out of one's reach is just a waste of time. I have more important things to attend to at the moment.""So, you're still stewing over our run-ins from before? Huh. Well, what are you going to do about it? Take your time. I'm in no hurry.""I'll never be one of the good guys. I'm just here to pay my dues after what you've done for me. But what about you? Shouldn't you come up with some excuse for our meetings? If one of your friends mistakes you for collaborating with the enemy, you're on your own.""Although the idea of "divine favor" makes me a little ill, I'm not going to be picky about a new source of power. You think there's some kind of meaning behind the element of Anemo? Hah, why did that thought even occur to you? The gods aren't guided by any kind of rationality or moral compass. Haven't I shown that to you already?""I've got nothing. Ask me anything if you want. If a question is interesting enough, I may give you an answer."" Look. The birds are showing off their plumage, the squirrels are busy hoarding food, and humans are laboring for their livelihoods. Truly, simple animals don't need anything complicated to be fulfilled.""She completely neglected her own creation, and to add insult to injury, she said it was because she "couldn't bring herself to intervene" in my fate...""You want to learn more about me? How ridiculous. Don't you know that's only asking for trouble?""I once thought that deification would allow me to get rid of all of my pointless emotions, but I've since abandoned that view. Anger, whether it be from others or myself, is too convenient and useful as a tool. How can some people just never become angry? I find that impossible to even imagine. Do they just not have a single mean bone in their bodies?""When I entered Irminsul, there was only one thought in my mind: I wish I'd never been born at all. Irminsul responded to my wish, but didn't bring me the outcome I desired. The fate of this world hasn't changed a single bit when it comes to playing cruel tricks on its prisoners.""Do you have some tea? The more bitter, the better. It leaves the most fascinating aftertaste.""Oh, I'm well aware that many, many people will want to seek me out and settle the grudges they've built against me in my past life. Fine by me — come one, come all, I say. As a matter of fact, I'm somewhat looking forward to it.""Do you have some tea? The more bitter, the better. It leaves the most fascinating aftertaste.""I'm no fan of Dango, or any other sticky sweets that make me feel like my teeth are fusing together. Keep them to yourself.""Give me your hand. Heh, there's no need to be nervous. I'm just taking you to a vantage point. How is it? The scenery here should be quite breathtaking. There's no need to thank me — I see little point in it."
