Today's Kin Memory Serotonin is remembering how Diana always used to wish me luck on my assignments over comms... I miss you, Diana, and I do hope you're doing well. - Agent 47

Being from an AU is.. interesting. Cause i doubt I'm gonna find any sourcemates, let alone canonmates, especially when the original of the source is old and controversial. - hitman Jones from the Hetalia au Hitman Jones

Agent 47, wherever you are, I just hope you are doing well. I think of you often.

Finally getting to play The Splitter and HOLY SHIT. I should not have been floored as badly as I was at the whole cloning thing. I was actually thinking I was going to start crying at seeing 47 calling a guard a freak for what he was doing to those clones.

Agent, this might sound so fucked up coming from me of all people but I genuinely feel sorry for what you went through under that “good doctor”. You and the other 46 of them - and perhaps the 48s as well. You have my respect. Sorry about everything I tried to do in canon even if that wasn’t me necessarily.

Funnily enough (if it sounds funny enough), I didn’t even realise foul play was around with Cobb’s disappearance until Hajun vanished as well. The thing about being part of a mysterious organisation is you just had mysterious things happen. If some CEO high up in the company, went missing, even if it seemed like foul play, it wasn’t considered so by default. Weirder coincidences have happened. It was only after Hajun vanished that it all hit me - one Herald gone is just bad luck. Two? Well, that’s no longer a coincidence.

I said as much to Fanin, that was the whole Providence Is Under Attack cutscene. Though I’ll say he was much more in disbelief - I always was fond of him but his problem was that he saw too much good in people, he wanted to believe that things were going to be alright regardless. Alexander, you didn’t deserve the burden of being a Herald and perhaps I was hasty to force it on you, you could have lived a much better life outside of some collateral damage, you were a very good man.

But anyway. For a supposedly very smart man, I could be quite dim. I would say though that technically keeping track of that sort of thing was not my duty at the time. Orders to investigate came from higher up, so I should have been told by the Partners to look into it when Cobb vanished, but they just… didn’t. Probably didn’t want to bother themselves, or they didn’t care. All of what was happening in the first game Providence wise was all run by me. No orders from up high, no asking for advice on how to go about things. Just me. Pretty good for a “secretary” right?

(Only doing my Hitman ‘kins for now) For LGBT Canons:

Agent 47 : I believe I was a demiromantic asexual, but I didn’t do much questioning over my lifetime as far as I’m aware, the time between my contracts was not that long, nor was it uneventful. As for gender, I just didn’t desire to fall down that rabbit hole, it’d be a distraction that would affect my performance - something I needed to maintain as it was rather entertaining to watch the ICA scramble to stop myself and Diana from constructing insane eliminations that other agents and their handlers tried to mimic.

Lucas Grey : I spent most of my time within canon ignoring whatever I felt to pursue vengeance against Providence and the Partners, though I certainly made more progress on working out what I felt about my gender and sexuality than 47 did. Overall, I settled on being ambonec (though I’d often say agender for simplicity of understanding) and an androsexual panromantic. Polyamorous too, though anyone who knew me would know that just by my relationships.

Sean Rose : Masc-leaning bisexual demiboy. I had my relationship with Alma before I realised I much preferred men, though I do regret walking away from Mercedes, my daughter. She deserved to have a family, even if neither myself or Alma were good people. I did eventually find love elsewhere, but that was heavily delayed by the injuries I sustained in Colorado due to a certain assassin.

For Canon Clarifications:

Agent 47 : I knew from the very start of my time at ICA that Erich Soders was not truly loyal to the Agency, but it was not my business to point that out, nor did I know what he had done that made me believe that he was traitorous. Though, to most of the world, the ICA must look to be made solely of traitors from all sectors.

I also had a pet at my safe house. Not that it mattered much, since I wasn’t there for too long most of the time, but she was a mixed breed dog, certainly some Doberman in her. She was Lucas’ way of trying to ‘liven up’ the safe house since he lived there longterm. We called her Zephyrus, she had a tendency for stealing the rubber ducks (and if you know Hitman, you know those things are usually explosive).

Lucas Grey : I didn’t intend to kill Cobb at first. He was the best boss I’ll ever have, and my time at Milton-Fitzpatrick was a period of calm within my life. This is also how I met Marcus Stuyvesant, since the Milton-Fitzpatrick bank was under his company’s control - this also would have been the first thing that should have alerted me to the idea that Eugene Cobb was a Providence operative, but as in canon, I was unaware that Stuyvesant was one of the Partners until 47 regained his memory.

Sean Rose : No one talks about how difficult it was to gain respect at the base in Colorado (or how awkward it is to end up with a workplace crush). I knew people disliked that Grey had put me in charge of the Western Cell, but I didn’t feel much distaste for their opinions. Monsters serve a purpose in our war, Grey himself said that, so I remained in charge until I was injured too badly to continue. (Crest usurped power in Colorado the second myself and the other lieutenants were out of the picture).

Right, back to that workplace crush. No one warns you that even despite you telling yourself that a relationship, especially a serious one, is dangerous in this line of work, you always fall for someone. It was an annoyance, but also maybe a godsend. 47 wasn’t kind, it wasn’t in his nature at the time, but even he can see connection and have some pity. (And pity indeed it was.)

I’m very grateful to what happened in my canon. Being in a supporting role feels more right than the main antagonist role the games gave me. Mr. Ingram, as much as I hate him, even admitted so in his little fairy story that the reason I joined Providence was to make the world a better place. And I wouldn’t have fallen under that corporate shell of a capitalistic amoral hellscape when my mentor was Janus. I don’t really understand my appearance in the games a lot. He just went corrupted with the want of power. He terrifies me.

My idea with the Destiny Group I wanted to create was so all the corporations under Providence’s control would no longer be invincible. They had to deal with fallouts, damages. People could get reparations. At the same time everyone at Providence still keeps their jobs. Idealistic, maybe, but at least I made it work.

I thought the Partners would give me a chance, but of course they didn’t, the classist elitists. And I must admit that my time as Constant did change me. I did lose my way, my original purpose for joining, why I wanted that power. But it was only after the… whole poison chip incident that I finally remembered what I wanted. I remembered myself.

Ironically I have to thank Mr. Ingram, Mr. Stuyvesant and Mrs. Carlisle for how they treated me, because for them it engineered their downfalls. I wonder if Mrs. Carlisle saw me as just a secretary still when all was said and done.

I don’t know if I necessarily hate 47 and Miss Burnwood. I don’t know too much about this canon but I have a feeling it deviates after the end of the second WOA game. What I do know is that I wouldn’t have done a lot of the things I did there. I would have just reformed Providence to the open corporate state I wanted it to be, and just left everyone else out of it.

I wasn’t… I wasn’t power hungry. I just wanted to be recognised by the Partners. And when they treated me like nothing but a servant I felt so betrayed, and that’s what made me screw them over, steal their assets and take over. I would have stopped there. That’s the victory I wanted. Capturing Grey? That wouldn’t have been part of it even if he was the militia leader. Recruiting Miss Burnwood? I wouldn’t have been so foolish. And as for the bad ending and the serum with 47… my mentor hated that project and I did too. I wouldn’t have done such a thing. Figuring this all out is hard. It’s much easier to type out what definitely didn’t happen.

With all this said though I do miss the Heralds and our little gatherings. I love all of you, I’m so proud of you all and I’m so sorry I couldn’t have been a better Constant.
