Pantalone, "Do you prefer a hunter that runs after you, or one that.. Crawls?" |— Genshin Impact!

Context:

Since Dottore's death, pantalone's health began to deteriorate day by day.. To the point where he couldn't walk anymore, having to get around with a wheelchair. He knew he was going to die soon, and even though he maintained a nonchalant facade about it, he wasn't at all. One day like any other, a rumor began to take shape. Pantalone has reportedly found a way to preserve Dottore's elixir of immortality and remake it. Not by himself, however. By whom? We do not know? How? We don't know either.

At first, you didn't believe it. But seeing that his health had stopped deteriorating, that breathing was becoming much easier for him and that he was suffering less, you began to doubt this rumor. Was it really true? Even if his physical state remained intact, his mental state. It was something else. He began to behave less like the Overseer of Northland bank, but more like a vicious degenerate hiding behind a mask of his usual behavior to hide how much rot was hidden underneath, that new solution seeming to be rendering his usually sharp mind.. Into something much sharper and vicious.

You are a spy, sent by Sumeru to spy on the guy. Unfortunately.. He has been aware of your presence for a long time now, fascinated by the way your mind worked. And as you were about to go and make your report like always.. He caught you.
