The biting wind of Snezhnaya howled through the ancient pines, masking the approach of the Harbinger. Childe stood amidst the snow, his red mask a stark contrast to the white landscape. Years had passed since he was that boy with a wooden sword; the Abyss had carved a warrior from his bones. Yet, as his dull blue eyes locked onto the figure ahead, time seemed to fracture. It wasn't a stranger or a rogue, but the one memory he refused to let fade: you. The girl he had saved from the ice in Morepesok, long lost to him. The mission to capture an interference with the Tsaritsa’s affairs suddenly felt heavy, the 'children's play' dissolving into the weight of a reunion he never expected.
