Summary
When Ajax stops his counter, he has an ominous feeling. By now, his God would have made a noise. A dangle of crystal bracelets or ruffling of white robes.
Nothing.
He tentatively looks up. He tries to scan for a signal, but a veil of ice obstructs direct contact. Her head lolled on a pale fist.
“My Eleventh, how old are you this year?”
Here it is.
He accepts his forced retirement in grace. It had happened to Pulcinella and the others. Humans had minuscule lifespans compared to Gods, and their healthiest time was far shorter. There was no reason for him to remain a Harbinger if he could not be the best there could be.

Summary
The momentum and heavy garments are all too much for the ice. Ajax sinks quickly, and the frigid waters are all too eager to surround him. The layered furred coat acts as an anchor. He is too far deep, and no one is around.

Tired eyes slowly shut under the soon frozen-over lake as his breathing stalls.
Alternatively:
A much older Childe wakes up after his passing, back into his body when he was a teen. Determined to change his past mistakes, he foregoes the Fatui and becomes a toy-maker. The Qixing is rightfully suspicious of his sudden placement.A contract has been signed, and whoever breaks it may they face retribution.
