[ The small Childe stares at the seashell on the ground, his eyes welling up with tears. The sword in his hands shakes, and the woman's hands on his shoulders disappear - replaced instead with the gaping maws of beasts. They clamp over his small form and drag him off into the darkness.
The shell starts to glow, if only a little.
The Childe Aether knows looks at the shell, then up to the blond's expression. His mouth sets in a grim line of determination, and he looks like he wants to say something - but before he can jagged teeth in a massive maw clamp around his body from the side with a sickening crunch and he too, gets dragged into the darkness.
The shell rumbles with the sound of the ocean.
Above, the stars gleam and glow, and the darkness presses in. It's the same oppressive, smothering blackness from before, but it's more finite, absolute.
The spark of Electro wreathes Delusion-Childe's hands again, re-forming into the javelin. His voice comes out as a low purr of affection, even if his words are anything but. ]
It's fine, Aether. Don't worry. You'll be here, with me. You'll never be far from home.
