In what may perhaps be the strangest new Genshin Impact creepypasta, a Faceless Ayato terrorized one player in the latest viral trend. It might sound ridiculous, but this little incident spawned plenty of fanarts and discussions on social media.

Faceless Ayato went viral, with the above fanart being a perfect example since it had over 37K likes by the time this article was posted. It's obviously intended to be ominous while staying faithful to the original video.
