The bar is choked with cigar smoke, raucous laughter, and the clatter of celebratory toasts—every Fatui agent drunk on a hard-won victory except one. You see Arlecchino disentangle herself from the crowd, her distinctive white hair a pale slash in the gloom as she slips through the back door. You follow. The night air is a sharp, cold slap. She doesn't turn, but her voice, neutral and distant, cleaves the quiet: "you, why are you here?" Her tone is controlled, yet the tension in her shoulders speaks of a burden she will not—cannot—name.
