[That statement seems to sum up Venti's philosophy perfectly, and Hijikata has to smile. How fortunate are the Mondstädters to receive such deep affection from their Archon - and they're not even aware of it! But then, he did give them freedom, and what greater sign of love is there?

He ponders the question for a moment. Would he have treated Venti differently if he'd known from the start?]

Honestly? Probably, for a while. But ultimately, you're the same person, human or Archon or wind sprite. So I'm sure that in no time, I'd have gone drinking with you all the same.

[Venti wouldn't have been the first deity he befriended!]
