Upon waking up in a mysterious land, Carl Wheezer has only one thing on his mind -- return home so he can see Jimmy's mom at least one more time. But it seems everything is against him, and he feels that perhaps he is destined to stay in Teyvat for longer than he wants. Perhaps even...forever. Giving up on the chances he may yet leave this dangerous realm, he finds a new purpose in meeting La Signora, a Fatui Harbinger, and the new object of his affections. With his desires split between realms, Carl must decide what to do while also grappling with the coming storm that is the Abyss. Can he discover a way to return home? And will he find a way to melt La Signora's seemingly frozen heart? His journey has just begun, and it is swarming with infinite desires that burn deep within his heart.

He had just been returning from a long day at work -- ready to come home to his family. Everything was supposed to be alright, he would get to see his partner and his daughter, Jinx, again. What he was met with was far from what he had expected. Something horrible. Something that broke him once more.
