Y/n is the second of the Fatui harbingers, with a will so strong that she can harness the power of her own cryo vision and 6 of the Tsaritsa's delusions at once, one for each element. She has never loved or been loved, having been raised in a strict and cold family. She was raised to be perfect in everything she does, and perfect beings do not love. Even if one day y/n was to fall in love, it could not last, as the Tsaritsa's rule is "once a harbinger, always a harbinger". Albedo is a homunculus, created several hundred years ago. He travelled for most of his life with Rhinedottir, who was his creator, his master, his teacher, but although she was the closest thing he had to family, their relationship was never based on love. He knows what love is, has studied it in detail, but he has never had the chance to experience it for himself. 'Can a homunculus even feel love?' he wonders sometimes. Both of them have never experienced love, and neither expects to ever fall in love. But when they meet, somehow, despite all odds, that is exactly what happens.

Tears flow without her being able to hold them back. She shouldn't have grown attached. This, she only discovered until it was too late. Now that the bonds are firmly in place, will she have the will to break them with her own hands? They say ignorance is bliss, but can one still be happy after realizing that this man she is infatuated with is her enemy without any free will? After realizing that he is just a fragile mortal while she travels through the eons? After realizing that no matter what happens, there will always be an excruciating end to this relationship? Mortals are selfish, as Childe has proven to her so many times. But do near-gods have the right to be as well? Lumine has never wanted to answer this question so much in her life, and it is finally Childe who gives her the much desired answer. "I will prove to you that even you have the right to happiness."
