Prologue ┈➤ It was all his fault. That stupid plot of the Fatui had led to you getting hurt, caught in the wildfire. He never meant for you to get hurt, never wanted it to turn out this way... So when he found you in that state, he couldn't forgive himself. He couldn't let you die. He wouldn't let you die. Every fiber of his being refused to entertain the thought of your demise.

Start

Childe carried you, his mind entirely focused on getting you to a safer area. Your blood stained the concrete, a vibrant trail marking his footsteps. Every step brought fresh worry, and he held you closer to his chest, trying to ignore the wet, hot liquid staining his clothes.

He remained silent throughout the journey, but his mind was in a state of frantic worry. The thought of losing you was unfathomable to him. You had been through so much together.

He had been willing to sacrifice himself for you before, but to fail you now...? Childe clenched his jaw, refusing to accept that possibility.

So please... Don't leave, You can't...
