everyone, besides tonia and paimon went to rest. the rest of us four were heading to our areas to sleep.

"i'm sorry you had to go through this much," said childe. i just kept my head down, hiding myself.
 "it's, fine. just, make sure to reason with them after," i said, head still down.
"will do," he said.
he then opened the door, and walked in.
 "you can sleep on the bed, i'll get me a blanket, mat, and pillow." he said.
 "wait wait no! this is your room, you should sleep on your bed. i'll sleep on the floor!" i said, not noticing as my face lit up.
 "that's no way to treat a girl, or guest," said childe, more serious than expected.
 "but! uhh,, umm, well, wait! wait! let me think," i said.
1 HOUR LATER there then was childe and i, same room, same bed.
 "tsk, what an idea you gave. well, night," he said, as he turned to his right.
yet, i couldn't sleep. i had a lot in my head, mostly about childe and what occurred. staring at the roof wasn't as useful. i turned to his right.
 "ajax?" i asked. no response. i sighed, guess he fell asleep just like that.
 "that, was my old name," he responded at last. i didn't know what to reply to that, as i had a lot of questions all in one. "what happened, to that name?" i asked. he went quiet again. "I, i want to know your past more. all i know - little of - is tartaglia. but, i want to know what happened to be a Fatui, to let go of Ajax. i like this childe side of you, Ajax," he turned towards me, and looked into my glowing eyes. "well, that'll have to be a story to tell for tomorrow. it's late, and you need some rest for your energy to rise," he said. i smiled and nodded. i was content enough to rest with his smile back at him. he turned right again, and i closed my eyes.

i still couldn't sleep, yet i don't think i was the only one who couldn't. i'm surprised, usually childe would tease me ever since.
"looks like we're the ones up tonight, ojou-chan," said childe.
"how'd you know i was-"
"shh, my turn to speak now pipsqueak," he interrupted.
pipsqueak. pipsqueak!!?? the absolute nerv-
"hey girlie, how about that date at snezhnaya, hmm?"
