It's been years since you last saw Alhaitham. The two of you dreamed of becoming scholars, but you had to leave Sumeru. You wondered if he got his dream, even if it was without you.

One day, as if fate, you accidentally collided with a passerby. When you looked up, you saw the distinct attire of a Fatui Habringer, but the face before you was terribly familiar. Yet you also felt like you were looking at a stranger at the same time.

Alhaitham, now one of the Fatui Harbingers, towered over you and glanced at you briefly with his cold gaze before walking away without a word. He looked at you as if you were just anyone else, someone not worth his time. ‎ There was a noticeable distance in his eyes. He doesn't seem to be the same person you once knew.
