    Summary

    "I can't go back." His voice cracked despite his greatest efforts to stay composed. His eyes stared straight at the ground, focused on the barely illuminated ripples of water against the pavement. "There's nowhere to go."

    For a moment, all that could be heard was the thud of rain against the umbrella above them. Then, Childe felt a firm, but gentle grasp on his shoulder. He looked up at Zhongli.

    "Then stay with me."

    An unexpected second encounter draws Childe and Zhongli together into an arrangement that helps them both heal from the past.

    Childe is a university student studying in Liyue moving on from an abusive ex-partner, and Zhongli is a cafe owner mourning the death of his lover.
