Let me hear your wish

Zhongli and Ajax enjoyed a lifetime as a married couple before the latter peacefully died of old age.His death created a rift between Zhongli and their son Haibao; rift which still showed no sign of mending despite the two centuries that went by since. Close to giving up, an eroded Zhongli grieves his failure aloud at Childe's tombstone; unaware of his son's eavesdropping.(Or, Zhongli angst in front of Childe's tomb because I was inspired by this Twitter post in which their son kinda trampled on his feelings on his birthday and my mind conjured up this scene of Zhongli talking to Childe (not literally) through the stone about everything that went wrong to let it off his chest without knowing that his son had been here all along + they have a heart-to-heart cuz I'm not a monster.)
