Absolutely believe that the people of Mondstadt know that there’s something off about Venti. They’re just wrong in their guess. But they all know to hold fast to certain reminders.
Do not stare into his eyes for too long, looking anywhere else would leave you better off, his eyes will drive you mad with images of brewing storms and the distinct reminder that the wind is not as gentle as it is in Mondstadt everywhere else.
The songs he plays to a crowd or anywhere in public are safe, enjoy until you are too drunk on the melody to listen any longer. You’ll hear them once more when you turn in for the night, lulling you into a peaceful sleep.
However if you happen across him secluded, playing to himself. Turn away and do not look back. It is not a song meant to be heard by normal folk and you’ll find yourself unable to forget it until it consumes your every thought.
If you see a bird next to him, of any kind, do not scare it off. He talks to the birds and everyone’s sure that they talk back.
Take everything from his mouth with a grain of salt, but keep it in mind. Often it is nonsense, but it will always hold a bit of truth to it. It is your job to parse out the riddle he has given.
All this to say that everyone’s convinced Venti is a fairy of some sort but they like him too much to say anything because they don’t want him to be uncomfortable. He’s clearly acting as a human for some reason and he’s fixed the people who may or may not have gone a bit mad after not listening to the warnings to the best of his abilities. And he does seem really sad about it each time it happens.
