Allegedly, half the human population is male.

However, of seven men that I know, all are imaginary.

In the beginning of HSR, you are given the choice between Johnkai Starrail or Jeannekai Starrail. If you choose Jeannekai Starrail, the man disappears into your imagination. Did he truly exist? Or was it a dream?

Dan Heng, a dragon boy, tries to kiss us, but is prevented by March. The only acknowledgement that this entity 'Dan Heng' exists, is from March 7th, Welt and Himeko at the beginning of the game.

March 7th later becomes imaginary, as does Welt. The Trailblazer may also become imaginary. There is no evidence Dan Heng is real. Himeko pretends the clearly imaginary Welt is a real person. She is not a reliable source. Dan Heng does not exist.

We met Arlan on the Herta Space-station. But he has no place in the meta. Asta's dog is more relevant than he is. What evidence have we that Arlan isn't a figment of our imagination? Asta's acknowledgement? Herta's?

Asta is a rich girl and out of touch with reality. Herta plays make believe with dolls at the age of several centuries and thinks she's much younger than she really is. Neither are reliable sources for Arlan being real.

In Belobog, with the exception of Gepard and Sampo, everyone we meet is female. Are those two real? Sampo disappears mysteriously partway through the story, and Gepard only exists for a boss fight which may simply be hypothermia-caused delusions. Serval says he exists, but how can we be sure she isn't screwing with us?

Luka isn't in the main story. No proof he exists either.

On the Xianzhou Luofu, Dan Heng's alleged existence is acknowledged again by some number of characters. But then Dan Heng becomes imaginary, making all of them unreliable.

Kafka may be lying that Blade is a real person. There is no third Stellaron Hunter.

Jingliu is an old dementia patient grandma. Can we really trust her to be objective in the existence of Jing Yuan? And Fu Xuan might be making up the myth of Jing Yuan to motivate Qingque to come to work.

Yanqing is coached by Jing Yuan. But Jing Yuan doesn't exist. Yanqing must not exist either.

Luocha? Imaginary.

Penacony? Literally the land of dreams. Aventurine is imaginary as is Dr Ratio. Sparkle is lying to you that he is real. I'm sorry, your cute gambler boyfriend was never there. You imagined him.

Sunday? Also imaginary. Robin and Himeko just hallucinated him together, just like how all the other express members are hallucinations.

Misha? Gallagher? They disappear at the end of the story. No proof they were ever real.

Boothill? Comes and goes. Maybe everyone is making him up. Like a boogeyman. Have you ever seen him? No.

Rappa says he exists? Rappa is a delusional Naruto fan and also imaginary. No evidence.

What proof do you have that Jiaoqiu exists? Can he look me in the eye and tell me "I'm not imaginary."?

No. He can't.

Because he was never real.

Mydei? Imaginary.

And Screwllum?

Screwllum will never be real.

I'm sorry.

They were imaginary. They will always be imaginary.

I look down at myself now. My birth certificate says I am male.

I think therefore I am. But did I ever think?

There are no women on the internet. But there are also no men.

So... who are you?

And whoever am I?

Fin.
