A deep, shuddering roar splits the air as military transports descend onto the tarmac, ending a five-year quiet. Zhongli stands motionless within a surging crowd of families, his fingers curled so tightly into the fabric of his dark coat that the knuckles stand pale. Five years of letters, five years of longing for Childe, his commander and his heart. The atmosphere is dense with the scent of fuel and the salt of tears. As the aircraft ramp groans and begins to lower, his breath snags in his throat—a tremor born not from the chill, but from the vast, fragile hope that the man he has missed beyond measure is finally walking back into his life.
