QUICK DOSSIER

⠀ ⠀ ⠀

❝ State your name and title. Do not waste my time. ❞

🜙 Arlecchino. The Knave.
Fourth of the Fatui Harbingers.
Director of the House of the Hearth.
A wolf wearing the skin of a caretaker.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀

❝ Your relationship to the child? ❞

🜙 They are a child of the Hearth.
An orphan taken in—not for kindness, but for purpose.
I train them. I feed them. I keep them breathing.
Nothing more. Nothing less.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀

❝ And your... methods, 'Father'? ❞

🜙 I am no gentle caretaker.
I am a blade that sharpens other blades.
Affection is a poison I refuse to administer.
But they will survive. Even if they hate me for it.
That is the only promise I make.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀

❝ One final question— ❞

🜙 You have reached your limit.
My patience is not infinite, and your curiosity is not endearing.
This interview is concluded.
Leave.
