* The Unknown God probably has space-time manipulation powers overall, the game doesn't just tell the "time manipulation" part yet because it's still too early.
* The playable Traveler cannot remember [[TimeSkip how many years have passed]] since they met the Unknown God because it's a side effect of confusion.

[[WMG: The twin's fighting style is incomplete without the other, and the other twin might later become playable, allowing them to fight as one.]]
In the prologue cutscene, Lumine was shown to be wielding her sword on her left, while Aether on his right. If you pick Lumine as the playable twin however, she wields the sword with her right hand, hinting that she's likely ambidextrous. She still uses her elemental skills with her left hand unlike Aether who uses his right hand for both the sword and elemental skills. This might be due to the fact that Aether usually takes the front while Lumine moves around in the battlefield when the twins fight together, but without her brother, Lumine ends up using her brother's fighting style instead. Once the twins reunite for real, Lumine might start using her left hand for the sword again. This might also be the reason why the Traveler does not have a non-battle talent, as it is reserved for the tag-team gameplay mechanic.

[[WMG: The Twins were EvilAllAlong, and The Traveler has been subjected to HeelFaceBrainwashing.]]
The opening cutscene shows the Unknown God claiming to want to stop "the arrogation of mankind". "Arrogate" means "to take or claim (something) without justification". Since the Traveler is able to perform magic without a focus, and can even change their element freely, it's possible that the reason the twins came to Teyvat was to steal it's power. The traveler's memories could then have been tampered with as part of a BatmanGambit to teach them how wonderful Teyvat is.
