(3RD POV)
(Sucrose's House, Monstadt)
[Musashi's story left Sucrose speechless. Sucrose is shocked and disappointed after knowing the dark side of Alchemy.]
Sucrose: "Dear Archon... It's... It's insane."
Musashi: "Believe me... I was shocked when i heard about that myself."

[Sucrose looks into her little lab. She saw everything slowly. She even touched the books on the bottom shelf with a sigh.]
Sucrose: "Why?"
Musashi: "......"
Sucrose: "Why would that person... commit those crimes to his little daughter... with Alchemy?"

[Musashi sighed as she looks at Sucrose's back.]
Musashi: "To prove his worth... And to gain the fame he longed for."
Sucrose: "For the sake of fame and for the sake of showing what he is capable of? Only that? Just because of that he committed that heinous crime?"

[Sucrose picked up a book. The book is called "Alchemy". She sighed deeply as she rubs the cover of the book with her hand. From that sigh, Musashi knew that Sucrose is sad and disappointed.]
Sucrose: "I've always thought... Alchemy is used for the good of mankind... Creating something useful for mankind."
Musashi: "....."
Sucrose: "...But, after hearing that scornful story... I felt, becoming an Alchemist like Timaeus and Mr. Albedo... was wrong."

[Small tears falls into the cover of the book in Sucrose's hands. She felt disappointed, sad and even angry.]

*PAT!*
[Suddenly, Musashi pats Sucrose's head from behind. Sucrose, slightly surprised, widened her eyes and turned around to see Musashi.]
Sucrose: "....Senpai?"

[Musashi swipes away Sucrose's tears from the sides of her eyes. She smiles softly at her favorite Kouhai of Monstadt.]

Musashi: "Hehe~ Don't be so sad and pessimistic, Sucrose-chan

Musashi: "Hehe~ Don't be so sad and pessimistic, Sucrose-chan. I tell you this not to make you depressed and insecure."
Sucrose: ".....Eh?"
Musashi: "I'm just reminding you not to get too greedy in the world of Alchemy."
Sucrose: "G-Greedy?"

*PAT!*
[Musashi nods. Then, she pats and rubs Sucrose's hair softly, causing Sucrose blushed a bit.]
Musashi: "Humans are never satisfied. They will never be satisfied with what they get. They will definitely want more. They will do anything to achieve that goal."
Sucrose: "Just like that man did..."

[Musashi nods again. She keeps smiling at Sucrose.]
Musashi: "Hehe~ Actually, I'm not worried, you know."
Sucrose: "Eh? What do you mean?"
Musashi: "Hehe~ Because I am 100% sure that Sucrose-chan will definitely stay on the right path and use his knowledge and skills as an Alchemist to help humanity."

[Musashi's words managed to raise Sucrose's spirits. Sucrose smiled a little. She grabs and holds Musashi's other hand tightly.]
Sucrose: "Senpai... I won't let you down! I will use everything I have to help humanity!"
Musashi: "Hehe~ That's my Sucrose-chan."
Sucrose: "And... Uh... I-If maybe one day I stray from my path... I-I hope senpai will be by my side and wake me up from my foolishness."
Musashi: ".....KAWAII!!!"
