[ Childe listens and although he doesn't understand everything, and even less where she is coming from, at face value it seems to make a lot of sense. Unfortunately, Childe imagines the time for "sense" is about to be lost with the Regent's announcement. It's obvious they were displeased with the Kenoma aions and their lack of will to be particularly independent in spreading the Kenoma. Now that orders are involved, it becomes less malleable of a situation, regardless of sense to Childe. Still, she's not attacking the jail, and he's not guarding the jail. That means he can let this conversation pass as just a conversation. ]

I... really don't want to be stuck here forever. The Pleroma seems like I'd be committing to a lifetime of servitude because light and life will simply go on struggling through things to gain a better existence, but probably barely move at all. Like you said... balance. Why I should be fighting to preserve Horos when I wasn't able to fight for Teyvat's existence?

[ he seems sincerely curious is she has an answer or at least some thoughts on the matter. This world is arguably much worse than Teyvat from what he's seen. The Innocence entity from the Pleroma doesn't seem to care about life so much as peace at any cost. Is it really all that different to the Regent that the Pleroma aions accept it but reject the Regent? ]
