   Summary

   ABANDONED (SORRY)

   Perhaps when Childe knew of his identity in just a few days, Zhongli could finally confess. When his Gnosis was in the Tsaritsa's hands, and he was free from his duties at last. In the meantime, he would indulge himself with Childe's company, though the feelings in his chest gnawed at him.

   Childe knew of his identity the whole time, had known since the previous year's Rite of Descension, and had already resolved that he could not take his Gnosis. How could he, when he had fallen in love with Zhongli?

   As the Exuvia's death comes and goes, Zhongli starts to wonder - when is the Eleventh Harbinger going to make his move?

   Meanwhile, Childe starts to wonder - how long will it take before the Tsaritsa notices he has no intention of completing his mission?
