[ Zhongli watches Shirou's outburst without a word, meeting his eyes with an understanding gaze. Even amongst the gods, he had been respected as a source of wisdom due to his age. None have endured as much as he did... none have lost as much as he did, in this false, preserved paradise. ]
There is no need for apologies. We share the same wish, even if it is expressed in different ways.
[ Had he been a few thousand years younger, he may have reacted with the same ferocity that Shirou did; but time has long since worn down his anger into a silent, unyielding steel. ]
If you are willing to tell me more about your world, I am interested in hearing about it.
[ Zhongli has never had a reason to step out of Teyvat, nor was he able to without the intervention of other gods. He's curious about these other worlds, both in administrative terms and also in principles. If Forneus' claim of concept resonance was true, then there would be inventions or traditions that remain the same across worlds. ]
