Sometimes words have two meanings
I think Darkness is really the right choice to complete Sixiang's journey. She's going from being a selfless instant of Dream to sort of an actual person, and when you're a person you have your own needs and desires. People think selfishness is bad, but when you're just learning about being a self it's what you need.
Grandmother is probably something like Xin. A more powerful spirit that is kind her own self (Even if Xin probably is more "herself" do to Jiao painting her with his colour) but still a mayor part of the Dreaming Moon then say Six is. So Dreaming can probably hijack them when they want like Xin was back then.

Hmm, I really like this thought, but along a similar line it was Sixiang's connection to Ling Qi which lead to this and facilitated this journey, which could lend itself to Wind's connectiveness.
Considering I was already narrowed down to either Darkness or Wind, I've not helped myself

Don't have time for the effortpost I want, so I guess I'll be brief.
Personally, I want to double down on Six's Wood bonus and make that a true strength.
We've got a massive bonus to Yin for most darkness arts we want, and if we can pick up Hanyi she'll likely be Darkness.
Meanwhile we've got no real interest in Yin Wood.

OK, so, more thoughts now that I have had more time.
Sixiang is our muse, and Wind appears to be, in this vote, all about creativity and adaptability:
This is not the Wind that was all about freedom that we somewhat rejected, but it is the wind of always having a right answer to the right question and being creative in our toolkit, and there is a strong narrative weight to it.

I do miss Ling Qi being more of a trickster when it comes to her toolkit, and when it comes to brute force that's what Zeqing is helping us to be. We have a mentor that will help us along the path of Brute Force. I think having Sixiang helping us along the path of Creativity would be good for us.

I thought Sixiang was genderfluid. Why were they being referred to as female?
Kyaaaa~ Handholding!
The shipping grows in power!
Really cool update though. Getting a better understanding of Sixiang and the Dreaming Moon is good, the imagery was really cool, and I particularly liked the part where we saw that the moon had different faces around the world.
Did I make a mistake somewhere? In the early bits I'm using she because Ling Qi is experiencing things from Sixiangs perspective
Well that is kinda good then. The Zeqing darkness tribulation coming up soon and LQ probably (if nothing really weird happens) getting Hanyi down the line we kinda got darkness and water set.

Nah, some of us is just bad at remembering to use gender neutral terms. Sorry about that.

Mmmm, tbh, framing things in terms of "what is most important right now" does kinda lead to only one logical answer: Darkness.
Wood... isn't (yet). Water you could argue, but is generally felt to be secondary. Wind is interesting because it started as important, but has really fallen off.
I'm open to Wind, but at the same time I feel that going "this is most important" when none of our core arts are Wind is kinda weird. Moreover, looking at our likely progression I'm not sure any of our core arts will ever be wind - not unless SCS+ goes Dark/Wind/Moon or something.

Sixiang has been referred to by male/female/neutral pronouns at different times in the story. I don't think Six would mind one way or another; if anything, being referred to differently at different times would probably tickle their fancy.
