Dear Mr. Zhongli,
When you receive this letter you will probably be informed of my passing. I'm sorry I wasn’t able to make it in for lantern right. I tried to get out of this mission but the sixth harbinger had gone rouge and disappeared. I wish we could have fixed things between us but I left Liyue without telling you or anyone. I was too afraid to confront what had happened so I chose to run. But there is nothing we can do now. Within this letter I have left you some information on my bank account. You have access to it on one condition, that you send money once a month to my family and some gifts to the younger kids. The address is attached or you can just ask ecatrina. She will know what to do and where to send it. I know this is a lot for one letter but I believe I covered all the important stuff.
With that out of the way i have wanted to say this for a while but what happened at the bank made me think a lot and i didnt know what to say or how to talk to you. I admit after our 3rd or 4th meeting I started to harbor some sort of feeling towards you but at that time I didn't know what it was. Until recently, unfortunately a bit too late now but that feeling was love. I know it sounds preposterous, a mortal falling in love with a god. I wasn’t expecting you to return them, I was kind of hoping it was one of those silly crushes. Although it grew over time, given it was only recently that I realized it, though that doesn't change that fact that I knew for a long time but I just didn't want to admit it. It was something my pride wouldn't let me. But my heart got the better of me. I'm sorry you had to hear about it in a letter. I hope this finds you and I want you to know I'm not mad and nor do I blame you for anything that happened. It was my own recklessness that caused this to happen. I'm glad I got to meet you and I just want to thank you for being this first person out of my family that I actually trust. Thank you Mr. Zhongli.
With love,
Childe/Ajax
