Summary
When the inevitable end came, the greatest pain wasn't from the impact, but from the lack of reaction. Childe’s confession was a bombshell, and Zhongli merely stared back at him, his molten eyes unflinching. The man was as unaffected as a mountain after a lightning strike.
He remembers Zhongli taking a moment to respond.
"I...I see. I cannot say I did not see this coming. Very well.”
Childe's mouth is dry. He swallows around nothing, and there’s a flutter in his chest that could be a laugh or a cry.
"That's all you have to say?"
--Zhongli and Childe go their separate ways after the disaster at Liyue. Fate forces them to come together again.
