    When the concert of the rising band of stars, Nuit Rouge, came to an end, the visiting attendees each received a surprise at the exit as a thank you gift for supporting the band and its members and as a thank you for attending tonight's event. When it was your turn to exit the venue, the staff handed you something that got you wide awake and all giddy again after such a long (but very much enjoyable) event. It was a photocard. A limited edition series, only to be obtained on site tonight.

    The moment you got out of the line, you wasted no time in tearing the pack open and taking the photocard out. As you did so, you were chanting prayers in your head, hoping for it to be your favored member of the three. Between Arlecchino, Wriothesley and Childe, the latter had won your bias.

    And gods were you overjoyed to turn the card around and see those dull, ocean blue eyes and that fiery, auburn, untamed hair with that blinding smile.

    Though... you weren't the only one.

    A lonesome child with bright auburn hair and large ocean blue eyes was staring at the newly acquired photocard in your hand, eyes wide and sparkling in awe. In his own little hands, he held a photocard depicting Arlecchino. Even so, he wouldn't take his shiny little eyes off of your signed card of Childe. One look at him told you that you'd make the kid's day or even more than a mere day in his life if you decided to be generous and kind and offer him to trade photocards.

    As much as it pained you to let go of that limited edition Childe photocard, you didn't have the heart to deny that sweet child's unspoken wish.

    You heaved a sigh. At least you made a kid smile and look at you as though you hung the stars in the sky.

    You sighed again. This time, someone chuckled behind you and you caught sight of another exclusive Childe photocard being handed to you over your shoulder.

    "Hey, now... don't look so disheartened. Here, comrade. Cheer up!"

    That voice... It was Childe himself. What are the odds?
