Summary
The situation suddenly feels absurd. Surreal. Made-up. Like there is an invisible string tugging from his limbs and tangling around his brain and manipulating what he thinks and what he says and what he does, a string that hides in plain sight and only operates in the fringes of awareness, vanishing as soon as one realizes the possibility of its existence.
The sensation passes as swiftly as it appeared, leaving him disoriented for a second, and he truly has to wonder now if the wackiness he has felt all evening is not just the unfamiliar heat and the foreign land and all his days at sea, if something about what he read on the reports—the dismantlement of the Akasha system, the tampered dreams, the failed god project—still lingers around Sumeru like a byproduct of that whole mess.
Before leading his entourage to a campaign in the Sumeru desert, Childe has to spend a night in Port Ormos, where he meets with old acquaintances and a mysterious man that immediately catches his attention. Inviting this stranger for a friendly duel, however, ends up turning into a much more interesting experience than he was anticipating.
Set post-Inversion of Genesis.

Summary
In the aftermath of an ambush, Childe finds himself in the most unimaginably ludicrous situation: unable to get up and fight to get back at the traitors who decimated their forces, and having to rely on the Balladeer, of all people, to help him fix his wounds and get them out of the dire situation they ended up in.
