[Fair and valid. Kaveh's not condemning anyone's celebrations, he just doesn't want to harsh the vibe.
She's welcome to stand and watch if she wants, though! If she gets close enough, or is at the right angle, she'll see he's working on a portrait of Ruby--sitting on top of 104 and looking up at the sky, content.]
[He feels the same way. He can't get it out of his head; the regret, the feelings of failure. They've made it, and they're going home--but it doesn't feel like victory, really.
Though, that thought makes him look up.]
Have you decided what you're doing? [He remembers what she'd told him, weeks ago--that she was essentially dead, back home.]
I want to go home, but I—shouldn't. Can't? You get it. [ sort of. ] Shenhe and Nahida both offered for us to come to Teyvat, but it's a lot and it's not like I can make that decision on my own, so.
For now... I don't know. Still stewing on it, I guess.
Yes. [He's quiet, briefly.] There's someone that Nahida and I know who came to Teyvat from another world--I believe Nahida was considering talking to them about how they arrived. But I have no idea if it's within our capabilities to recreate.
[That is so far beyond what he's used to dealing with. All these scifi people here with their interstellar travel blow his mind tbh.]
Yes. I actually saw them not long before we came here--I think they're still in Sumeru, at least, so it shouldn't be hard to find them.
[But there's no guarantee that they'll have a good answer about worldhopping, so... that's a risk anyone who comes to Teyvat will have to consider. It's not impossible, but none of them can guarantee they can figure out how to do it.]

...I really thought we could save her.

We should have been able to do more.

Kazuki said something similar. Wanting to go back, but with the circumstances being what they are...
[Y'know. It's a hard choice.]
