   Summary

   On a pleasant afternoon in Mondstadt, Albedo returns from killing an identical version of himself, with shaking hands and last words he can't get out of his head: "What makes you so special?"

   After all, what kind of alchemist leaves a burning question unanswered? And what kind of alchemist is afraid of getting his hands dirty?

   or, albedo freaks out after the events of 2.3 and goes into a downward spiral involving questionable self-experimentation, a trail of burned relationships, and whole lot of identity crises
