Tartaglia knew he was transforming but the pills suppressed his ability to control it. He tried to push Zhongli and Baizhu away but Zhongli thought he was just struggling. He blew the two men off him while they were distracted. He grew and summoned his weapon, electricity crackling around them. It was cramped in the bathroom so Childe busted the wall down. Baizhu ran the the waiting room to evacuate Qiqi and the patients from the pharmacy.
"Childe, you don't want to do this. You're still injured!" Zhongli yelled. Childe didn't speak. He just sprinted at Zhongli and raised his weapon. Zhongli put up his shield which threw Tartaglia back. Zhongli turned part dragon, scooped the struggling Childe up, and unfurled his wings. He flew to the mountain to prevent innocent people from getting hurt.Childe was trying to control his delusion but the medicine was keeping the man out of control. Zhongli get out of here! I can't control it! Childe thought to himself. He couldn't speak. Suddenly Zhongli turned into a dragon. Childe thought he was hallucinating. He blacked out soon after.
Zhongli saw Childe's eyes darken. He was too busy trying to control him though, to take note. Sparks flew and Tartaglia lunged. Zhongli put his shield up again but not before Childe landed a cut on his cheek. Childe's gone. I have to use force now. Zhongli thought to himself. He glanced at Childe sadly before summoning his pole arm. There was no going back now.
