You woke up feeling lightheaded. It seems the sheer cold has completely disappeared from your body, thanks to Albedo's goulash.

You carefully sat up.

"Oh, Y/N!" You heard Klee's high pitched voice. She came running towards you.

"My mommy is waiting for me down in the mountain. Before I go, I wanna give you this!" She offers you a little round plushie.

"It's Jumpy Dumpty. But don't worry, this doesn't blow up" Klee cautiously said as if it wasn't obvious. You squished it a few times, feeling happy.

"Thank you, next time we meet, I'll give you a cool Liyue souvenir to remind you of me" You booped her nose. "right now I have nothing memorable to give"

You look outside at the usual white sky. "Or maybe I do" You said, getting an idea from snow. You placed down the toy and started creating a sort of ice sculpture right out of your bare hands.

The ice turned into a cecilia flower sculpture without its stem. You gave it to Klee.

"Cecilia is officially my favorite flower in Mondstadt!" You giggled. "This ice won't melt even if you place it in a warm room, but if it gets close to fire, it'll definitely melt" You explained to Klee.

"Yay!!" She cheered like the little girl she is and carried her bag, about to follow the path down the mountain. She turned around to wave one last time.

After the little red girl left, you hear nothing but the loud sound of the wind. Albedo is nowhere to be found, so you stood up looking around for something to do.

You found a plate of fresh Quince stir fry on the table. Seems like Albedo can cook Liyue dishes too.

You sat down and began to fill your stomach with Albedo's great cooking. The Wanmin Restaurant had better Quince stir fry but still, it wasn't bad coming from a Mondstadt citizen such as himself.

After you finished eating, you started to look around once again, you've never been this bored. You could be adventuring right about now but you were still recovering from the sheer cold. Even tho you're feeling warm, you were still quite shocked the fact you almost froze to death yesterday.

Looking around, you realized how busy Albedo was. Instead of investigating and painting the mountain, his attention was all on you now. You wondered if you coming into his life ruined his number 1 mission.

The first day you came to this camp, his bulletin bored was filled with maps and sketches of an ice shard. Now it's filled with Liyue culture.

It seems that Albedo wanted to see your true form

It seems that Albedo wanted to see your true form. Sadly you aren't planning to anytime soon.

As you opened some drawers, you found 2 papers with unfinished sketches of a woman with horns. Obviously you, the other was a drawing of you peacefully sleeping, and the other was of you smiling while holding cecilia flowers.
