Video Explanation ~
The scene at the beginning is the scene where Master Crepus (Diluc's biological dad and Kaeya's adoptive dad) dies. Essentially, after fighting off a creature using a delusion (or at least I'm pretty sure that's what it is), Master Crepus passes away in Diluc's arms, while Kaeya arrives too late to provide help.
*I did not draw the frame with Diluc and Master Crepus. That image can be found in the Genshin Impact Webtoon in Chapter 7: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge...
After, Kaeya reflects on his past. The hooded figure holding the eyepatch is my design of Kaeya's biological father. Then it goes back and forth between the past and present.
The drawings are a bit fast to see but first, it's smol Kaeya and then present Kaeya. Following is smol Kaeya reaching out to his biological dad, and then past Kaeya (the Kaeya when Master Crepus dies) reaching out to past Diluc.
The text reads "This is your chance. You are our last hope.", which is what Kaeya's biological dad says to Kaeya before he abandons him. (More can be found here: https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wik...)
Kaeya is falling from Khaenri'ah (that weird white hole and stuff above), symbolizing his changing allegiance to Mondstadt (perhaps???). This is inspired by a theory that Teyvat is upside-down. Khaenri'ah is actually located on the surface, whereas Mondstadt, Liyue, etc. are on the inside of the planet, with Celestia as the core of the planet. So to arrive in Mondstadt, Kaeya would actually have to "fall" from Khaenri'ah. This is a theory that I thought was pretty interesting.
Finally, the constellation is Kaeya's constellation, Pavo Ocellus.
Aaaaand that's it!
For those of you seeing this, hope you enjoyed it and sorry for the sad quality drawings :D See ya next time !
