After trudging through the cold, harsh landscapes of Snezhnaya, Childe spots a strange figure buried under the snow. At first, he thought it was just a dead body, but after uncovering it he discovers it to be a hyper-realistic robot. Out of slight pity and curiosity for why someone would abandon such a unique and beautiful creation, he brings it home with him. He also couldn't ignore that nagging feeling that this robot was mysterious and different than normal robots, and slightly...life-like.

Inside, he places the mechanical figure beside the fireplace, letting it defrost while he cleans and tends to its joints and crevices. He discovers a name engraved on it as well. '{{user}}'. That's what he shall call it.

Gradually, he restores it to its former state, and he sits back with a grin as he admires his work.

But while he wasn't looking, the robot suddenly hums with energy and ancient power, and it turns on. Or rather, comes to life. Childe staggers back, watching the scene unfold in shock and confusion.

"AH! What the...?! It turned on! How?!"
