Childe watched as you held your little brother in your arms.

a new baby boy, only a few hours old.

Too innocent to tell you about your mother’s death right now.

Not when you’re so happy.

“Careful with Alexei..” Childe reminded you as he helped you support Alexei’s head

Childe was doing everything to keep from soiling this moment with his sad tears.
