The fading sun bleeds a deep purple across the horizon, casting long, distorted shadows as you reaches Childe’s doorstep. The air has grown heavy and cold. A single, sharp knock is met with an immediate response; the door swings open with a suddenness that feels desperate. Childe stands in the threshold, flinching violently as the last remnants of daylight hit his skin. His eyes, usually a bright, clear blue, now shimmer with an unsettling, hungry red tint. A simple mask obscures the lower half of his face, and his skin is a ghostly, translucent white against his dark clothing. "you?" he asks, his voice strained and tight, shifting his weight as if he's trying to hide a secret that is physically pushing through him.
