As Arlecchino slowly stood up from her nap last night, she understood the importance of the information she received. This was her chance! To impress everyone by knowing it... maybe they would think it was magic!! But again, if she did that, then her one and only real friend would probably hate her for the rest of her life... existence even.
She couldn't muster up the courage to do it. It was rash, harsh, and just wouldn't do her any justice. She stuck by her side from the very beginning and it made her happy to have a little friend. Some comfort in her traumatic mind. I guess in simple words, you could say it made her happy.
And so, she began communicating to the girl. She was supportive, and kind, and basically everything she could ever want in life... she was perfect. And soon, the little girl started to know bits and pieces of Arlecchino's background.
She explained that her clan was in dire need of... "Assistance". And that the only way to get that, was by walking through a pitch dark fireplace, to traverse the land into another dimension. But, by accident she stepped forth onto Khanri'ah. An ancient lost civilization that cursed anyone that roamed the land. So, she was turned... into a mindless, evil creature that could never show emotion.
Many people would think she transformed into a hilichurl, but that's where they were wrong. Since she only has been there for a couple minutes or so, she wasn't COMPLETELY different. She was only partially affected. So, her fingernails were stained with blood, and when things are stained, they can never recover...
