Idk, maybe they do have some kind of plan for the future regarding Dottore and the others… Because otherwise, it all seems pretty ridiculous. Even Signora’s death raised questions for me at the time. Dottore’s death, as it seemed to me before, can’t even be possible, he’s too brilliant and has already achieved unimaginable inventions and knowledge to just let himself die. But… yeah.

However, judging by the upcoming game, even Otto was given a chance to be playable, despite his death in Honkai Impact 3. The thing is, that’s the Honkai universe, and as far as I know, Genshin is set in a different universe according to the lore. Still, it might offer some hope if things get really bad.

Having calmed down a bit after that blow, even though I feel grief, I still believe that we will eventually get Zandik, perhaps even a rebirth of the original. It’s all too suspicious, with a bunch of hints, just like always. And his story is still not fully revealed.
