Fresh windy cool and crispy air started whistling like a invisible ghost through the small gap from your bedroom window. The bright milky clouds started travelling around the blue sky. You opened your eyes slowly due to an adjustment of the golden light which beamed luminously right into your face.

Keenly looking around at your room, you realized it was still early morning.

It seemed like the loud chorus of melodic birdsong managed to successfully wake you up from your cozy slumber.

While streching out, you placed your gaze to the window as you once more came to a realization. Since when did you have a window besides your bed?

As if it wasn't enough to make you dazed into a confusion, you smelled some weird familiar scent coming out from your body.

"Ugh, why do I smell like Venti?" It reeked out a strong wine odor. Not to mention, there was a stain in your clothes. Could it be someone spilled wine on you?

Oh, crap. Last night you went to Angel's Share for a drink, you tossed off two or three bottles of fermented grape juice, getting drunk and went back to Goth Grand Hotel. That's it, right?

"Fuck."

Forehead furrowed into a frown, you tried to recall what damage you might potentially have done in such a horrible drunken state. First of all, let's start when you're having a breakfast with Albedo. There was nothing wrong back then, both of you were having a serious conversation about this mysterious traveler (he doesn't even realize that he is the same), this traveler goes by the name of Lumine.

Albedo said she is one of the few people he'd utterly love to talk with apart from you being the first in his list.

Of course, you shouldn't get your expectations too high about it. Albedo is dedicated for alchemy after all, there's no way you capable of stealing his heart. Futhermore, knowing him, you're not even sure he could fall in love... well, it's just a mere guess without any factual assertion either way.

Now, back on track, he offered you to accompany him for an experiment in dragonspine; which you positively answered. The experiment was once carried out to the traveler too, he said he wanted to tested on you so he could find out what's the difference between you and Lumine.

Who knows that this experiment hosted by the genius of Mondstadt himself could possibly help you to seek whatever the answer you have been searching for years to your abnomality between the crowd in teyvat. Especially when you could hold a geo element, and perhaps wind — if Barbatos is willing to.

In addition to, this experiment was based on Albedo's curiosity for you and Lumine. Since the two of you could easily use an elemental power from the archons unaccompanied by any vision.

However, the Honorary Knight concluded a fact regarding her strange abilities, it must because she came from another world. Albedo told you that he wished to perform an experiment to Lumine so he could see how life functions in the worlds outside Teyvat having acquired a sample and promising to compensate her for her participation and ensuring that it will be safe.

And the same goes for you, except for the fact you're not a traveler who came from another world. Then again, you have your own way to make him attached. When one is in the presence of a demigoddess, who wouldn't be?

Although, you're pretty sure that you have never told him any of your particular family matters. For him who easily fathom the traveler carrying aura of the stars, thank goodness he didn't seem to bother saying things like: "You carry the aura of dust."

It's a bit weird to hear so.

Hm, what else happened that time...?

Ah, right.
