*** Neuvillette's trust in Wriothesley is even more meaningful considering that Neuvillette himself was in the trial that sent him to Fortress of Meropide. He knows that Wriothesley commited a horrible crime, but understands the circumstances and notes that Wriothesley immediately pleaded guilty.

* Alain and Rene are both ChildProdigy geniuses from the Narzissenkreuz Institute who became shipped due to their MagicVersusScience contrast and FoeYayShipping.
** When the children had to leave the Narzissenkreuz Institute and were adopted by different people, Alain gave Rene a gift: the Nymph's Constancy pocket watch that he crafted himself.
*** In the Search for the Algae Sea quest, the Four Orthants all need to be unlocked with an object that answers a certain riddle. To unlock the Orthant of Souls, Jakob used a pocket watch to represent "love".
** After they reunited at the Institute of Natural Philosophy, Alain and Rene were said to frequently discuss pneumousia together, and that no one else could understand what they were talking about.
** Upon his defeat at Elynas, Rene/Narzissenkreuz said that he had no grudge against Alain, and that there would be a place for him and his sister in the new world.

** On several occasions, Neuvillette mentions that he avoids forming personal relationships, believing that close personal ties will lead to suspicions about the justness of his judgments. Nevertheless, the very first thing he says about Wriothesley is that he has a personal relationship with him.

** Albedo indulges in Cyno's roleplaying and adds his own joke after Cyno tells his "ground nuts" joke.
** He accepts Cyno's commission to draw his card backs despite usually not taking private commissions because he was touched by Cyno's passion for Genius Invocation TCG and dedication to travel all the way to Mondstadt to find him without even knowing what he looked like. He even sincerely requests for Cyno to tell more of his jokes in exchange, finding them fun even if he doesn't laugh at them. When the Traveler and Sucrose come back to where they were after checking on Sucrose's cooking, Tighnari informs them that Cyno had apparently already told the same joke ''five times''.

** When Tartaglia arrives in Fontaine and is arrested, Neuvillette gives him a fair trial and a chance for Tartaglia to defend himself despite his background as a Fatui. Tartaglia initially says that he wants to duel with Clorinde, but after seeing Neuvillette, he also wants to challenge him. He definitely has a thing for dragons.
** After neutralizing him and despite Neuvillette finding Tartaglia innocent of the women's abduction, he issues an apology for the verdict made by the Oratrice, promising to investigate further.

** The reason their history is so complex is because Navia's father [[SuicideByCop chose to die dueling Clorinde]] rather than allow his case to go to trial. Navia doesn't understand why he'd do something so foolish and futile, as in doing so he threw away his only chance to live and be proven innocent in a trial as opposed to dying in disgrace, and her frustration towards her father leaks over into her interactions with the people who could have stopped him, which naturally includes Clorinde given that she is the one who took his life. For Clorinde's part, she promised Callas that she would protect Navia after he died, which she does when but despite even Navia recognizing Clorinde's good intentions and lack of malice, she is too hung up on her father's death to let Clorinde in. [[spoiler:Navia finally makes peace with Clorinde when the Champion Duelist obliges her request for her testimony on how Callas's intention for the duel was to die rather than avoid trial, and Navia takes Clorinde out for a meal afterwards as thanks.]]

*** In one route, after the Traveler lets slip about Kaveh's poor mood to Alhaitham, Kaveh tries to stop the Traveler from elaborating further. In response, the scribe directs Kaveh's attention to the books that the architect had previously annotated in order to ask the Traveler privately about the specifics. In contrast to Alhaitham's caustic or TheGadfly remarks when he bickers with Kaveh, his words after the Traveler's explains the situation to him are less critical of Kaveh and more understanding, reinforcing that he views him as the leading genius of the Kshahrewar who should have the right to use his status as such to deal with difficult clients instead of enabling them to take advantage of his personality, but respecting that this is the way Kaveh is. Kaveh then comes back with his mood improved because he found a thank you note from a scholar for his annotations, with his RelationshipValues meter even going up by a heart as he proudly points the comment out. It's implied that this was what Alhaitham had intended, as he comments on Kaveh's improved mood. He even encourages Kaveh, albeit in his usual unaffected manner, to explain more about his previous successful projects to the Traveler, and supports Kaveh's testimony that his work on the arch bridge at Port Ormos received no complaints, calling it "a most impressive achievement."

I have read the Chinese text as a Chinese native speaker and with the release of that one scene in Kaeya's hangout where he states his relationship with Crepus and Diluc I am editing this to make it more YMMV. I have little knowledge about danmei stuff so I can't comment on the sworn brothers thing though.


* Despite the tensions in the Western community due to the Chinese term "sworn brothers" being (mis)translated as "adoptive brothers", Kaeya/Diluc is a ''very'' popular ship due to their canon dynamic, the [[RedOniBlueOni red/blue]] contrast in their designs (as well as [[FireIceDuo having Cryo and Pyro Visions respectively]]), and the fact that their canon description as [[HeterosexualLifePartners sworn brothers]] is a popular Boys Love shipping dynamic in Chinese fan circles. What adds more fuel to their ship is Kaeya's willingness to talk to Diluc and visit Angel's Share, with Diluc (reluctantly) putting up with him despite what happened between them in the past.

* Among his friends Kaveh appears to have the most pleasant relationship with Tighnari, as he only has praises for the forest watcher in his voice-line about him. Tighnari was also the first one to ask after Kaveh after Sachin's remaining consciousness dissipates, and during Kaveh's Hangout Event, he chides Kaveh for day-drinking (and the Traveler for not stopping him), then invites him to his dinner party because he noticed his sour mood.

** In "Fleeting Colors in Flight", Yun Jin and Xinyan spend the Lantern Rite together at the Jade Chamber with the others. It's seen how Yun Jin, without worrying about behaving in public, grabs Xinyan's hand ad happily runs with her to see the lanterns and the fireworks.
** During "Summertime Odyssey", Xinyan's mirage has some moments of her past that, far from getting her sad or upset, Xinyan just brushes them. One of those moments include an elder telling her to be more graceful, to which Xinyan proudly replies that the best Opera artist is her fan.
** Another flashback from Xinyan's past has her last birthday, which was organized by both Yun Jin and Xiangling, who Xinyan considers her two best friends.
** In "The Exquisite Night Chimes", Yun Jin serves as a coach for Xinyan and Hu Tao's performance instead of performing, to give them the turn at the spotlight. She is later rocking at Xinyan's presentation. They spend the rest of the Lantern Rite together talking about the next shows, and have to decline Hu Tao's invitation to the banquet because they have to attend some meetings together.

*** In one route, after the Traveler lets slip about Kaveh's poor mood to Alhaitham, Kaveh tries to stop the Traveler from elaborating further. In response, the scribe directs Kaveh's attention to the books that the architect had previously annotated in order to ask the Traveler privately about the specifics. In contrast to Alhaitham's harsh or TheGadfly remarks when he bickers with Kaveh, his words after the Traveler's explains the situation to him are less critical of Kaveh and more understanding, reinforcing that he views him as the leading genius of the Kshahrewar who should have the right to use his status as such to deal with difficult clients instead of enabling them to take advantage of his personality, but respecting that this is the way Kaveh is. Kaveh then comes back with his mood improved because he found a thank you note from a scholar for his annotations, with his RelationshipValues meter even going up by a heart as he proudly points the comment out. It's implied that this was what Alhaitham had intended, as he comments on Kaveh's improved mood. He even encourages Kaveh, albeit in his usual unaffected manner, to explain more about his previous successful projects to the Traveler, and supports Kaveh's testimony that his work on the arch bridge at Port Ormos received no complaints, calling it "a most impressive achievement."

*** Other than the above mentioned routes, Kaveh brings up Alhaitham unprompted in the routes where he and the Traveler confront the client. In the branch where the Traveler and Kaveh follow the client to Aaru Village, Kaveh will have a long discussion with the Traveler on how his altruism partially stems from his GuiltComplex (the issue that Alhaitham brought up during their friendship-ending argument), then complains about how he has continuously argued with Alhaitham over his principle of being kind to others because he has the ability to do so, and thinks that Alhaitham will simply let people suffer their bad fates. As Kaveh concludes his reflection, he says that even if he does tire himself out, he believes that he will be saved, though he momentarily second-guesses himself before continuing with more confidence that he has "already been helped like that before". It should be noted that as elaborated in Kaveh's character story below, Alhaitham was there at Kaveh's DarkestHour and gave him the means to climb out of his despair. Furthermore, in the branch where Kaveh and the Traveler tries to secure sponsorship for the construction of the desert library, the Traveler has the option of telling a merchant off for asking without thinking things through, to which Kaveh will exclaim that they are "starting to sound like Alhaitham". Truly, Alhaitham has had a significant influence on Kaveh, and lives rent-free in his mind...
