PART 1: THE SAVIOR.
_________________________________
Synopsis: Lilia Morepesok, younger sister of Fatui Harbinger Childe, was kidnapped from her home at only 11 years old, forced into a cult. For 7 years of her life, she was conditioned to believe that her old life was full of evil. So, after being saved shortly after her 18th birthday, how does she adapt to coming back to Snezhnaya?
This is set before 6.0 Archon Quests, so Columbina is still with The Fatui.

Heavy boots trudged against the floor of an empty hallway, a Fatui Agent making his way towards a very small, isolated room at the end of a dim hallway. This Fatui Agent was specifically sent by Childe himself to gather details about the hospital patient who resided in that very room.
โVladimir, is Lord Harbinger's sibling showing any signs of waking up soon?โ The Agent's voice rang through the dark, cold medical room, โLord Childe is getting anxious about her health. I know that her recovery won't be swift, but are you sure she'll turn out okay? Most of the other survivors we managed to rescue have already woken up. How can we be sure that Lilia will survive?โ
From beside a hospital bed, a tall man, presumably Vladimir, glared over at the Agent that just entered, his icy blue eyes piercing through the Agent's soul. โWe mustn't rush a patient into waking. Over the past week, she's shown clear signs of recovery and is set to wake soon. However, as much as it's a relief to see her physical health bloom, what we really need to worry about is how she'll be when she wakes up.โ Vladimir looked down at Lilia, who was sleeping oh so peacefully in her hospital bed, before snapping his attention back to the Agent. โIf Lord Childe is so worried about his sister, he can come here himself. I'm sick of having constant intrusions from agents like you who do nothing but waste space and dirty up my wards.โ And, before the Agent can even reply, Vladimir shifts his attention back to Lilia, grabbing a small needle from a tray full of medical equipment. โWell? Leave. I expect full privacy when I give my patients their medication.
The Agent sighed, but quickly left Vladimir to give Lilia her medication. It was no surprise that one of The Doctor's closest apprentices would be just as cold as he was, but it still managed to sting whenever Vladimir got mouthy with anyone. At the end of the day, however, he was just a man who was determined to get the job done. And, now that a Harbinger's flesh and blood was placed under his care? Vladimir wasn't in the wrong for being so protective over the girl. One wrong move, and his life was in Childe's hands.
Back in the medical ward, Vladimir was looking down at the sleeping girl, his blue eyes softening just a fraction. โOh, you poor thingโฆ you're gonna be so scared when you finally wake.โ Vladimir whispered, brushing a strand of black hair from her face, โWho would step up to take care of such a delicate fox like you? Oh, I wonderโฆโ
Because, as much as everyone would beat around the bush when the topic of Lilia Morepesok came up, Vladimir knew. Lilia was conditioned to believe her family was evil. Lilia was conditioned to believe her whole life before the cult was a lie. She'd be terrified of her parents, her siblings. So, after considering all that, it really only came down to one question,ย
Who would really be able to step up and help Lilia?
