   Summary

   Morax had always seemed so untouchable. So invincible. More like an immortal god than a man.

   Childe was the one who was reckless. Diving headfirst into danger, getting into fights, mouthing off to people with no remorse or restraint. Childe was the one who was destined to die in a shootout before the age of forty.

   Morax was never supposed to die like this, and Childe was never supposed to outlive him.

   -

   Or: Morax, leader of Liyue’s criminal underworld, is assassinated at the Rite of Descension. Childe copes.
