Spoilers for Fontaine aq

The way they put Childe in Fontaine AQ is still so funny to me.

Like, imagine that in the beginning of Sumeru AQ, there is also Itto for some reason. He accidentally leans on some important story-relevant lever and then goes and gets lost in the desert.

And then the normal events of Sumeru AQ proceed, but from time to time there are random 5 second long cutscenes of Itto's misadventures in the desert. He's bitten by a scorpion. He's caught by Eremites. He organizes Eremites into a new Arataki gang (they oblige out of pity and curiosity).

He somehow wanders into Akademiya and engages the Grand Sage in a brutal months-long Beetle Brawl competition (with scarabs), buying us some time.

And in the end we see Kuki dragging his unconscious sunburnt body to the port and dropping him on a random ship that might or might not go to Inazuma. Then we go to chat with Kuki without acknowledging Itto in any way.
