->Thank you, Miss Cackle. And thank you everyone for coming. Four years ago, I didn't know there was a Cackles. I couldn't fly a broomstick or even make a potion.

->Out of nationalism, ninja have hated each other for many years, from the First to the Third Great Ninja Wars. That hatred bred a lust for power which gave birth to me.

->I've been asked many times during this farewell season, 'Is ending the show bittersweet?' Well, I say all sweet. No bitter. And here is why: Many of us have been together for 25 years.

And I thank you for being as much of a sweet inspiration for me as I've tried to be for you. I won't say goodbye. I'll just say...until we meet again. To God be the glory. Thank you.

->'''Fatui Recruits:''' Uh huh...
->'''Childe:''' So as your... sales manager here in Liyue, I demand that you obey my every order. A refusal shall be considered a betrayal, and the price for betrayal is to be dishonorably discharged from... Ahem, from the Liyue Institute of Toy Research.
->'''Teucer:''' Whoa, that's really strict... Won't people be really sad if they get fired from the Institute?
->'''Fatui Recruits:''' Huh?
->'''Childe:''' Eh... uh...
