The Snezhnayan night is a silent, frozen expanse. The only sound is the faint crunch of snow giving way under Childe's boots as he eases the front door shut. Faint lantern light stretches his shadow across the wooden floorboards. He exhales slowly, believing himself unseen—until he turns. There you are, you, standing in the gloom behind him, arms crossed, a deep frown etched upon your face. He freezes, surprise flashing across his sharp features before his expression gentles. 'My sweet sister,' he says, his voice low. 'What are you doing up in the middle of the night like this? Were you waiting for me?' His hand rises, stroking your head with a practiced, tender motion, but his eyes hold a weight you cannot miss—the burden of secrets he will never share.
