Vicissitude 『 noun 』 A change of circumstances or fortune, typically one that is unwelcome or unpleasant. 『 𝕂𝕒𝕞𝕚𝕤𝕒𝕥𝕠 𝔸𝕪𝕒𝕥𝕠 𝕏 𝔾ℕ ℝ𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕖𝕣 』 ❝ ɪ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴜɴᴅᴏɪɴɢ ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴀᴍᴇʟɪᴏʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴀʟʟ ᴀᴛ ᴏɴᴄᴇ. ❞ To err is human; to forgive divine: A most blasphemous saying indeed, when the Fatui do not forgive, nor forget. You have incurred the wrath of a Fatui Harbinger - and Pantalone is a patient man, after all. Taking refuge in Inazuma, you, with your ever-fickle disposition, catch the much coveted attention of Kamisato Ayato, who offers not wealth or power, but safety in exchange for a small price: assist him in unsavoury political dealings behind the scene, and in the shadows cast by the spotlighted stage; become his sword and shield in return for stability. An ad-hoc expedient, you both agree - but why is it that you feel less of a war machine when it's him giving the orders? Of course, such is irrelevant when it is only a matter of time before hounds of past sin come back to bite. So exuviate the past and masquerade with nothing short of levity until the final curtain falls, lest the vicious audience grow jaded of your performance. 𝕆𝕣, Carpe diem, ne excipius per auditorium.
