Childe,the 11th fatui harbinger,was ordered to get near the geo archon,zhongli to get the gnosis. And so childe went to liyue and immediately recognized the geo archon,he got near to him and started having some small talk. Soon after,zhongli and childe were great friends,in fact more than friends. About two years has passed and childe invited zhongli to go to the library with him,zl didnt see anything wrong with that so he went there,not knowing that this would be the end of him.. childe pinned zhongli to the wall and said"im sorry sensei..",zhongli smiled and said"whatever it is,i forgive u" childe then put his hand into zhonglis chest and snatched the gnosis out,"this is an order from the tsaritsa..morax" childe said as he held the geo archons gnosis in hand and turned away about to leave. Zhongli smiled and with his last bit of strength,he quietly said"im glad..i could help u..but i suppose..my teaching as a sensei..has stopped..fairw-well..ajax..i wish u enjoyed ur st-stay in liyue.."as his voice dropped,his body too collapsed and his eyes whitened along with a few drops of tears dropping down

…

Childe stood there,froze,"how could this god be forgiving me for killing him..how.."he mumbled as he turn back to see zhongli motionlessly lying to the floor with his torso against the wall,"he treated me like a human,and not a lowly scumbag..not like how the others treat me bc im a fatui..and yet i killed him.."childe mumbled quietly,blaming himself for this,questioning why he killed him for the tsaritsa

…

"Why does the tsaritsa want the gnosis..why does she need me to do it..why did she want me to do this when she knows this is the ending.." childe stood there holding zhonglis dead body,tears dropped and sorrow was flowing thru his veins. "He was so nice to me..and yet i killed him"childe repeatedly saying this

…

He kissed zhongli one last time and brought him to hutao,hutao looked at him and then zhongli,tears were flowing out of her eyes,she knew people come and go thats just how the wheel of life is but zhongli..was like a father to her and losing him made her very upset,"people come and go..i see that everyday..why am i even sad" hu tao said to herself as she took zhonglis corpse from childes arms.
