"See you tomorrow Mr. Albedo!"

It was 1:30 Am on a Tuesday night, the two Alchemists of Mondstadt's knights of favonius had been working on something in Albedo's lab in dragonspine

Everything seemed to be going perfectly, they were near a new discovery Albedo was sure of it. When combining the liquids they had previously prepared is when it came crashing down, The reaction was the complete opposite of what they had hoped for.

It shattered the bottle and what things got coated with the new liquid was burned beyond repair, lucky for them it didnt get on either but it had ruined some important notes.

After cleaning it up, Sucrose had decided to leave because of how late it was. Exhaustion while experimenting on things wasnt great and she needed the energy for her plans the following day.

"Alright, see you and hope you have a good nights rest"

"Thank you, dont stay up too long"

Albedo nodded as his assistant turned around and started making her way back to the city. When she was out of sight he sat down and stared at the spot the container had exploded motionless for a while

In usual circumstances he'd be disappointed, but this time he felt nothing. Its been like this for a long time, since his important notes were stolen by 02 and never returned it felt like all his motivation had went with them

There was no excitement anymore when things worked out, keeping work relationships has become even more of a burden, h3ll, everything has.

What was the point of doing anything? Figuring out 'the truth of this world'? It's not as easy as it once was or motivating, its just.. Nothing

He was a fool to ever think she'd come back for him, was she even still alive by now? No signs of it were there

Even Klee has failed to bring a genuine smile back to his face, she was quite the bright child, so innocent and pure, yet to see the truth of this reality they live in

though her mother wasnt there most of the time, she didnt let that bother her. How he wishes it was that easy to forget his master and move on without worries or expectations

His passion for art seems to have faded along with the motivation for everything else. Would anyone notice if he were to slowly slip out of their lives? How much of a difference would it make? Would they be sad, happy, even angry he's nolonger there? Would anybody miss him?

Albedo sighed, 'I suppose there' s no way to find out, is there? ' if he did die there' s nothing to show or tell him how things would go or if naything would even chabge. How easily would the people of Mondstadt forget about him? Sucrose is fully capable of taking his spot and continuing where they left on by herself

She's good at what she does and much more, he's disposable, replacable by her or even 02. Would there even be a need to replace him?

There was nothing to look forward to in life for him anymore, experienced all he could in the past 500 years. All he can do now is watch time pass, people leave and never come back while waiting for his own time

Frankly, he was okay with that. Its gotten too tiring to do anything else, all there was is to wait.
