Summary

Summary
She should return it, she thinks. But that would mean seeing Arlecchino again, speaking to her, having to face those terrifying, sharp eyes that seem to cut through centuries of performance to something real underneath—something even Furina herself can no longer identify with certainty.
She tucks the fabric into her sleeve, rising unsteadily to her feet. Her legs tremble slightly, the aftermath of adrenaline leaving her muscles weak and quivering as she moves to the small window, desperate for fresh air.
Outside, evening has fallen over Fontaine, the city lights beginning to twinkle against the deepening blue. Somewhere among them, Arlecchino moves through the shadows, once again carrying the knowledge of Furina's unmasked self—carrying the memory of a moment when pretense fell away, leaving only truth in its wake.
She presses her fingers against the cool glass, watching her breath fog the pane. The handkerchief in her sleeve feels impossibly heavy for such a small thing.
"What do you see when you look at me?" she whispers to the absent Harbinger. "What even is there left to see?"
Or
Furina struggles to tell act and truth apart. Arlecchino sees through her with uncomfortable clarity.

Summary
Furina would not be busy for some time, so to any outsider, her idle standing seemed wholly unnecessary. But as a sleek black car pulled into the theater's parking lot, Furina pressed her lips to the rim of her coffee cup in hopes of concealing her smile.
The woman who had caught her eye a short two months ago was tall, handsome, and most definitely mysterious. At least, Furina thought so. While she had yet to build up the courage to speak with the attractive stranger, she felt such a strong pull to her. She was wonderful, and oh how badly Furina wanted her.

Summary
The Knave sat on the side of the bed, looking down at the Archon and careful not to avert her gaze from the faintly emanating blue glow. As she observed, a sense of empathy ran through her heart; she knew all too well what the Archon had endured. Centuries that would have shattered mere mortals and a performance of grief deep enough to deceive even the heavenly principles; it all made this moment feel ironic.
Little Archon, the one who has fooled the heavenly principles yet adorns a vision, you have truly captivated my gaze…
Furina awakens, not fully conscious yet, she surveys the unfamiliar surroundings and wonders where she was; recalling the hazy memories of last night, she realizes it must have been the Knave who brought her here.
