[There's an understanding nod from Aether and frankly, he could never expect from Ayato to give him a full list of everyone along with information if they remember him or not. Especially not when half of the people out there are not even from Inazuma.]

It's perfectly fine, I didn't ask either. You gave me the information I wanted.

[Aether really wished to (finally) see his sister more than anything else.]

Plus, I ran into others later. It turned out that Thoma and Ayaka remembered me. So did Tighnari and Xingqiu.

[It's not a terribly long list, but that doesn't seem to discourage him. He looks a little wistful though.]

...But regardless if they knew me or not, they were all willing to hear me out and give me a chance. [Except Childe... that one took a bit more convincing.] I'm very grateful for that.

[He really has met a lot of wonderful people during his journey. And so did his sister.]
