Summary
Perhaps the hurt had been too deep that he wanted to forget everything—that even in his ideal world there was no Zhongli, no dinners, nothing. Just his quiet lost world where all that’s left are the people who loved him.
Perhaps Zhongli should leave him here after all.
But he can’t. He can’t leave Childe here. He can’t look at him in the eye, his face pleased and open, thinking that he belonged here when he did not. At some point the Abyss will eat him alive. At some point he might not even be a person anymore. And what would Childe do then, being one of the monsters of the Abyss? He had been here before. The Abyss would not let him escape a second time.
OR: It is an unspoken fact that the Abyss takes anything and everything so as long as they can keep it. In this case, the Abyss takes Childe and gives him what he wants—a world in which he doesn’t hurt and a village that he believes he has lived his whole life in.
That is until a new villager called Zhongli appears in his life. And suddenly, Childe doesn’t know what’s real anymore. Especially when Zhongli claims that Childe knows him even when Childe has never met him before.
