Summary
Their relationship is what Scaramouche likes to call transactional. Akemi keeps his secret, and in return, he doesn’t harm him or any humans he deems “incorruptible.” He doesn’t get human blood often, but he lives with it.
Scaramouche says it’s the price for his sins, his path towards redemption, or something like that. Akemi doesn’t understand completely, but as long as he doesn’t hurt innocent people, he’s at ease.
It is mildly endearing to Akemi, knowing a vampire has such restraint.
But if he tells Scaramouche that, he knows his roommate would go back on his promises.

Summary
Before a traveler arrives, amidst a war of pride between Snezhnaya and Mondstadt, the famous Chief Alchemist gets captured by the Fatui, and they give him one simple instruction: as long as you play the piano, you will live; once you stop playing, you are to be executed.
What follows are hours filled with music that keeps The Balladeer, out of all harbingers, coming back. At first trying to make Albedo fail, then just… keeping him company. Until the last note is played.If anything could resolve his guilt, it would be knowing that the other man resented him. However, Albedo, the kindest man he’d ever met, wasn’t going to do that.

Summary
When Durin asked him to come over to the Windblume Festival, he never imagined the alchemist's company would be a problem.
Of course, he got along with Albedo back then in Nordkrai and, thanks Archons, he wasn’t a hard person to deal with since he spent a great time exploring with him and Durin.
Then why did his look become so …brazen out of nowhere?

With nowhere else to go, he follows the first person he sees.Scaramouche never planned to be that person.

Summary
When his master left him, Albedo was left with one last task.
"Your final assignment: show me the truth and the meaning of this world."
Undoubtedly, such an assignment is far too vague to come up with an definitive answer.
However, as time has gone on, Albedo has found, in pursuit of this answer, a family.
A little brother, a little sister, even a cat. But now someone he never expected has entered the picture.
As well as an unexpected feeling about that person.
Is this part what his master wanted for him?

Summary
Durin has learnt a lot about "courting" and "romance" from observing humans. He still doesn't really understand much, but according to his observations, he definitely thinks there's something "going on" between Albedo and Wanderer. Durin decides it's up to him to do something about it, and begins his great undertaking of a certain task he's heard of: the art of "match making".
Albedo was speechless for a moment before finally speaking up. “Durin,” he asked nicely, “just how many people did you ask about this?”
Wanderer watched with apprehension as Durin mentally counted on his fingers, distinctly feeling the physical sensation of a rock dropping into his stomach, as Durin’s two hands ran out of fingers and he had to start fresh on his left hand once again.
“You know what? Don’t answer that. Don’t answer that question.” Wanderer snapped.
