Summary
"The Tsaritsa, the children, even Pierro. They see the Father, they see the hearth that burns but never consumes itself. They do not know how tired you are of the wood you must provide to keep the fire going. They do not see the one who just wants the fire to go out so she can rest in the dark, away from the eyes of the world."
or; Columbina comforts Arlecchino.

Summary
The first time it happened, she dismissed it, assuming she had simply gone mad. The second, third, and fourth times, she did the same. But eventually she started paying attention to the words, and learned things a maddened mind shouldn’t have been able to conjure on its own—information she should have had no way of knowing, delivered straight from cold, stilled lips. By the first time the voices materialized into a tangible shadow for someone else to witness, she had already accepted her own sanity.
It hadn't taken long after that to learn how to tune them out. Dead people hardly make for good conversationalists, after all, and these particular voices had little worth listening to in life either.
Even so, there will be bad days. There will be days when more than just a handful of voices resurface, when their weak, fading moans turn into an overwhelming tide of pain. There will be days the dull ache in her charred arms sharpens, the heat beneath her skin stirring into something hotter, more unbearable. Even those days she has learned to cope with.
Today is not one of those days.
Today is worse.
Or
Arlecchino has a bad day. Furina makes it better.

Summary
“You are sure?”
The Knave has no stake in the former Archon’s choices. Regardless of what happens, the outcome, whether it may be good or ill, will not affect her. But still… to erase a life, to destroy the very essence of a person and let another one usurp their place… It feels damning, sacrilegious even. A mockery to all that was sacrificed.
So she asks, one last time, even though she knows the answer. One final attempt, to save a soul beyond saving.
The former Archon stares back at her with eyes that have long since given up on hope.
“What have I got left to lose?”
---
After the trial of the Archon, Furina comes to the Knave with a desperate plea- erase 500 years of memories for a chance at the life she never had. Arlecchino agrees and suffers the consequences.

Summary
Passion is said to be a flame, but the girl is merely a collection of dying embers. Winds scatter the cinders — perhaps they will find some kindling, perhaps they will ignite — but for a very long time, she is but a pile of ash before ever getting the chance to truly burn. She is not sure she wants to.
Even so, the wind continues to blow.
—
for as long as she can remember, peruere has been burning.
