Venti knew Lumine because he saw Lumine, Venti introduces himself. Lumine showed Venti a Teardrop Crystal because she thought Venti knew something about it since Venti and Dvalin are close, Venti also came across a Teardrop Crystal so he asked Lumine if she could purify it. Lumine did purify it, Venti thanked Lumine because she purified the Teardrop Crystal. Venti was running off to the "Symbol of Mondstadt's Hero", Lumine said to Paimon that they should keep an eye on him. Paimon said that the "Symbol of Mondstadt's Hero" is where that gigantic tree at Windrise, so Lumine went to Windrise and saw Venti at the gigantic tree.

Windblume Festival
In Act I, when Lumine went to the Mondstadt Plaza after discussing the Meaning of Windblume with Monstadt citizens, they see Venti in front of the decorated Anemo Statue teaching a “poetry class”. Lumine decides to talk to Venti, Venti says that he needs a couple assistants, in which Lumine and Paimon accept. Lumine helps Venti with grading participants of Venti’s Windblume poem class by answering accordingly to Venti’s body language. The Act ends off with Venti explaining to Lumine that he is going great lengths to make sure she is part of the festival.

In Act II, Lumine and Paimon walk into Jean’s office to meet Kaeya and Venti. Kaeya hasn’t finished his poem, so he instructs Lumine and Venti to help his friend at the tavern. After giving the drunkard materials to make his gift, Lumine and Venti report back to Kaeya where he has finished his poem. Venti reads out the poem, unimpressed at the lack of seriousness Kaeya put into it. Kaeya gives you another errand. After winding up at the Cathedral, you chase a crying Barbara. After finding out a love letter was buried by one of Barbara’s fans, The act ends with Venti ridiculing the sender and proceeding to claim he knows who might have sent it, with Lumine agreeing, he then tells Lumine not to say it, as to let Paimon guess on their own.

In Act III, You meet Timaeus and Venti at the Alchemy stand, where Timaeus claims he hasn’t finished his poem yet. Continuing the theme of not knowing the true Windblume, Sucrose explains the formula might have to do with the true Windblume, and tasks you to bring it to Albedo, in which Albedo says that it is unlikely to be a Windblume, and tasks you to find materials so he can make it, revealing that it is a formula to make an Ancient, extinct species of Sweetflower. Albedo sends you off to gift it to Sucrose, where she exclaims excitedly that it is her Windblume. Venti turns to Timaeus and asks for his poem. Paimon realizes they forgot Bennet, and so they rush to the Thousand Winds temple, freeing Bennet and Razor, Bennet gives his poem to Venti, and it explains Wolfhook is Razor’s Windblume, and Dandelion is Bennet’s. Venti and Lumine head off to the Angel’s Share. After they arrive, Lumine is named the Windblume star, and in turn must offer a Windblume to the Anemo Archon, Barbatos. Venti asks for Kaeya’s tuition fee, and is excited to find out it is 3 bottles of expensive wine. The act ends off with Lumine leaving the tavern.

In act IV, Lumine starts off by talking to Jean in front of the Barbatos statue, where she asks if you have chosen your windblume, in which Lumine turns to Venti and asks “Venti, which type of flower do you like?” Venti replies “Eh?... Very cunning, trying to cheat, are we?” In which Jean coughs and Paimon exclaims not to share secrets in front of everyone. Venti then says “Don’t worry about me, choose something you like! I trust your tastes.” And you are told to pick a Windblume, the choices being Dandelion, Windwheel Aster, Cecilia (Venti’s favorite flower), Small lamp grass, Sweet Flower, or Wolfhook. (Choice of flower does not change the story or any dialogue, but for this I will say Cecilia, as it fits the most) Lumine chooses Cecilia and a prompt saying “Use 1 Cecilia to send love and blessings to the Anemo Archon?” Pressing confirm, Cecilia shows up on the Pedestal. Venti proclaims, “Huh, interesting choice.” And Lumine replies “You like it?” In which Venti replies back, “Hehe, take a guess...” Lumine puts her hands on her hips, unimpressed, Paimon tells him to stop making everyone guess all the time, so he says “Ahahahaha! Okay, okay, I’ll tell you, but not here though. Not a good idea with so many people in the plaza... Change of surroundings needed.” Paimon asks where, and Venti replies to Lumine, saying “I want you to come with me to Stormterror’s Lair.” When you arrive there, Venti reminisces, and tasks Lumine to clean up the place as a Windblume gift to Dvalin, and tells her to meet up at the top of the tower when she is done. When Lumine gets to the top, Venti continues to reminisce, saying “Ah... now this is a view.” Lumine replies with either “The scenery is Beautiful” or “It’s a pleasant atmosphere.” Both in which Venti softens his tone and responds back with “Isn’t it? I am fond of this place. Sometimes, when I’ve got nothing else to do, I come here just to sit and gaze awhile.” Paimon mocks him and says “You mean sit and laze around?” He goes back to his cheery voice and replies “Hahaha, guilty as charged! ...It’s so beautiful... if only we had some cider in hand. So Traveler. The Mondstadt Windblume Festival. Do you like it?” Lumine responds with either “It’s full of love and cheer.” Or “It’s great to be with everyone.”, both in which Venti responds with “And yet, you still have something you wish to ask, do you not?” Lumine saying nothing, and Venti continuing with “I know your question. What are Windblumes, exactly? And what do Windblumes and the Windblume Festival mean to Barbatos, the Anemo Archon? As you’ve seen, the the people of Mondstadt each make their own choice. Out of the millions of flowers there are, some choose the dandelion, others choose the Windwheel Aster.” Paimon comments that each Windblume is unique to themselves, and Venti replies with “Correct, and long may that be the case. There is no single answer and no true Windblumes in existence. The word “Windblume” dates from the age of Old Mondstadt. It was a code word that the people used to stay in contact and mount resistance in secret. At that time, the people often said that the stronger the wind blows, the firmer the roots of the Windblume would grow, and the brighter the flowers that burst into bloom. If you want my perspective, Windblumes don’t exist. Yet they are all around us nonetheless. They are the spirit of yearning for freedom, the courage to follow the wind wherever it may lead... All objects that are beautiful and worthy of blessing... All can be Windblumes.” Paimon again responds with “You can’t see them, but you can feel their presence everywhere... just like the wind!” Venti replies with “Haha, well said. So what are Windblumes? Something that the Anemo Archon Barbatos will not define.” (Camera zooms closer to Venti’s face.) “Flowers of blessings, flowers of respect, (Venti turns toward Lumine, now in first person, voice very slightly softer) Flowers of love. Every Individual has their own (camera goes back to showing all 3) Windblumes, and every individual has the right to define them.” Paimon replies “Guess it’s no surprise that the type of flower given by the City of Freedom to its deity is in itself an expression of freedom.” Lumine replies “I enjoy the feeling of freedom, too.” Camera zooms back to Venti’s face in which he replies “I know.” It zooms back out and he faces toward Lumine and continues “It is people’s shared will that brings them onto the same page. And surely it is the wind of freedom that brought us together. It comes from the end of the journey. The edge of the world. (Venti faces back toward the sky) The depths of our hearts. It is ceaseless.” He faces his head down, sadly, remembering his old friend who died for the freedom of those in Old Mondstadt.


 * “Who was it that stroked your bloodied, determined visage
 * By stream flowing small
 * By boulder standing large
 * Who was it that embraced your weary yet noble soul in dreams deep
 * In skies soaring
 * Dear friend
 * I am leading you by the hand
 * Into the night where lanterns shine bright
 * To tell you a tale of freedom and dreams
 * The tale of where this festival begins.”

A cutscene showing friendships and relationships, with Venti narrating. “My answer is this: So long as we can both share fond memories, it doesn’t matter. Let the heart decide.” Him seemingly meaning to face toward Lumine, where Dvalin interrupts and flies by, where both Lumine, Paimon, and Venti watch him. Act IV then ends.

"Ah... You know, you're so smart it almost makes me uncomfortable sometimes... But then, maybe it's right that true friends can tell what the other is thinking."
