something i can’t fully understand is how childe is so dedicated to his job, even being happy when he joined (that he gets a whole world of battles opened) but then he told his family he would quit it to have normal adventures. can we take this as him having desires deep down for a normalish life and not the “dark side of Snezhnaya” (i forgot exactly but those were his words from liyue AQ describing the fatui)
I can help clear this up for you! The EN translation was actually incorrect here. In the original CN, what he says is that he would take a break, not that he would quit.
There are many incorrectly translated lines when it comes to Childe, and these incorrect lines have led to so much confusion over the years. If there's ever a line from him that seems strange or out of place to you, I'd recommend looking into it! Chances are, someone has made a post or thread debunking certain things or providing more insight where the EN might be too vague.
