When they drop the bomb,
I’m gonna love you all day
What do the Harbingers do when they know the both of you are about to die, with nothing they can do?
Sorry guys I’m in a melancholic mood hehe 🤪
Can you tell who’s my fave just from this lol
0- The Jester
Pierro embraces you the way he did five hundred years ago.
Long ago, you had planned this. Planned the way you would go out together.
You would both share any final regrets, secrets, and grievances you had left unsaid.
For the two of you, burdened by immortality, this is a farewell to the world long overdue.
But when the day comes, The Jester, the formidable director of the Fatui, is unable to find it in himself to remain stoic and composed.
He embraces you, and this time he knows it will be the final one.
1- The Captain
Capitano, no, Thrain, weeps.
He weeps not for himself, but for you, you who had yet to see the flowers of the next spring, you who had yet to see one’s own child grow.
As he holds you, he will let himself be comforted. For once in his life, he allows himself vulnerability.
And as it ends, you wipe the tears from his rotted face and tell him how beautiful he is.
2- The Doctor
Zandik fights until it is too late.
Il Dottore is a heretic, and a defier of fate. He spends what could have been his final moments with you studying, searching, and resisting.
Zandik, yet to profess his love to anyone, Zandik, yet to call someone his own, oh, Zandik.
And, when he finally realises that there is nothing he can do, he looks back at your face and realises it is too late.
3- The Damslette
Columbina holds you and sings a lament to the moon.
She sings a final lullaby to send off the world, softening the end with gentle sleep.
She strokes your cheek, allowing her eyes to open at last.
And as a single tear falls down her face, she gasps as she witnesses the world’s, and your beauty for the first and final time.
4- The Knave
When the time comes, Peruere softens and allows weakness into the House of the Hearth.
Arlecchino sends the children for a day off, allowing candy and muddy boots in bedrooms.
She will gather you and the children, and read a storybook for them all, no matter their age.
She couldn’t bring herself to tell the children.
So, as she allows herself one final moment of softness, she tells the children how much she loves them, and she closes her eyes for the last time in your embrace.
5- The Rooster
Together with you, Pulcinella will reminisce.
He will sit with you in front of the fire, leafing through old diaries, photo albums, letters.
You will laugh together, weep together, and sit close like teenagers in love.
You’ll speak about what comes next, in your next life, and as always, it’s always together, the both of you together.
You’ll hold his hand and giggle at photos until it all ends.
6- The Balladeer
Scaramouche will allow himself to be held, and allow himself fear.
Long ago, Scaramouche hid away the part of him called Kunikuzushi. With it, he hid his fear, and there it had stayed.
Now, in your arms, he feels fear. And he allows it. He knows you fear too. But, he knows as well, that you hide it for him.
And you hide it well.
You sing him that simple Inazuman rhyme that mothers sing to children at bedtime. Kunikuzushi allows himself tears.
7- The Marionette
Sandrone feels warmth for the last time.
In her cold, unfeeling body, Sandrone has kept herself the same. Cold, unfeeling and unpleasant to all.
So why, did you allow this puppet to feel what was reserved for humanity?
She had just begun to cherish this feeling in her chest, a warmth not unlike what a true heart might be.
And now, she holds onto that warmth until the very end.
8- The Fair Lady
Rosalyne was not allowed her own goodbyes before. She will hold onto this one for as long as she can, despite the pain stabbing her fingers.
Signora will draw out her final moments with you for as long as possible. She will speak out loud every thought she has on you, listing everything she loves about you, and everything she wishes she could have done with you.
She may hold regrets from her past, but she will not allow the past to create regrets in the present.
She will hold you to her burning heart, and kiss you as the world is set on fire.
9- The Regrator
Pantalone will set it all aside, and sit with you by a river.
Pantalone will enjoy the sound of running water, the feeling of grass under his hands, the taste of you on his lips.
He will remember the times spent at this very spot before it all, before the Mora, the status, the pain.
You will smile at him with that dazzle in your eyes like you always have, and he will feel like a boy again.
10- ???
They wish they could be by your side, one last time.
11- Childe
Ajax will bring you to meet his family.
Watching you play with his siblings, Tartaglia wishes he could see the family you could have had together. He wishes he could see a child of his own grow without troubles. He wishes he could grow old with you, without the fighting, and the Fatui.
So instead, he’ll settle with popping up behind you and surprising you, laughing with his brothers and sisters while you scold him, pretending to be a happy family.
He will enjoy the last of what he owns.
