Words couldn't explain how you felt about Signora's death. She was a friend, a comrade, like family.

Once you first heard the news, you didn't believe it. It felt completely unreal - how could she have died? She was so strong, nobody dared to take her on in a fight..

Yet the night prior, you found yourself laid in bed staring at the ceiling unable to feel anything.

Unable to cry, unable to feel happy or anything.

You had this feeling of emptiness and cold all across your body. You remembered when Signora first joined the Fatui.

She had been consumed by flames after the death of her lover during the cataclysm. Then sometime after Pierro found her and recruited her, then she was given a cryo delusion to control her flames.

She was a beautiful woman, she was strong and powerful. Despite the fact not many of the harbingers got along with her, you and a few others would consider her family.

She used to be a maiden from Mondstadt, then went to the Sumeru Akademia. She was beautiful, smart the whole package anybody would ever want.

Of course she had her flaws, yet that was caused by new lovers death.

Nobody really understood her, the type of person she was really like under her cold tone and threatening words. She was only trying to protect herself from getting hurt again.

So as you got ready for her funeral, you thought of her the whole entire time, wearing her favourite perfume in honour of her. Obviously not the one she owned, she'd go mental if you used anything of hers without even asking.

Once you arrived at her funeral, you stood beside Arlecchino whilst everyone else arrived.

Columbina was singing a soft melody in the background, her head resting on the coffin.

Pierro was playing chess with the gnoses, as a small pyro crystalfly landed on one of the pieces.

She's even here in spirit. Of course she wouldn't miss her on funeral.

"The sages think themselves to be all knowing..." Pierro spoke, signalling he was going to start ranting.

"But we alone are wise to the virtue in those acts of folly..." He continued, his tone calm whilst he continued playing chess with only archons know who.

"In this war, not even a single pawn may be spared, because on this chessboard.." He continues, a small pyro crystalfly landing on the piece that had just been knocked over.
