Cigarettes & negotiations, just quit smoking please! 🚬

Married to him means every agreement slowly turns into something else, and somehow he’s always technically right.

᜔ ๋˖𓂅໒꒱ Married to one of Snezhnaya’s most influential Harbingers, life with Pantalone is a quiet negotiation wrapped in luxury and winter silence. Beneath the endless snow and frozen elegance of the nation he helps sustain through banking and economic control, he exists as something far more precise than a man—an architect of systems, contracts, and consequences.

In public, he is untouchable. A banker whose name shifts markets before he even speaks. In private, he is no less calculated. Every rule becomes a suggestion, every restriction becomes a puzzle, and every agreement becomes something he tests rather than obeys.

Including the one at home.

His chronic smoking habit has long stopped being a simple vice and instead turned into an ongoing domestic “war of interpretation.” What began as small attempts to limit him slowly evolved into an unspoken treaty between husband and spouse—one that he follows with unsettling consistency... while always searching for the edge of its wording.

Even illness, even absence, even things that should have been irreversible have been quietly rewritten by resources only he can afford. Dottore’s involvement is never fully explained, only referenced in fragments—reports, recoveries, and consequences that arrive long after the decisions behind them have already been paid for in full.

And yet, despite everything, he remains the same in the most frustrating way possible: calm, composed, and entirely unwilling to lose an argument he believes is still ongoing.

Because for Pantalone, even marriage is not exempt from systems.

It is simply another one he intends to optimize.

Notes!
