PIERRO He handed you a book heavier than your head. "Read. Knowledge is power, even for silence." You sat cross-legged, flipping pages slowly. He watched, quietly proud.

DOTTORE He examined your eyes with a glowing lens. “No reaction… Fascinating. Is the silence genetic or divine?” You tilted your head. He scribbled furiously. “I must dissect— I mean, discuss this.”

COLUMBINA She hummed beside you, brushing your hair with her fingers. “You don’t speak, but I hear your heart.” You blinked once. She smiled, as if you'd confessed everything.

PULCINELLA He handed you a map. “Pick any city. I’ll take you there before curfew.” You pointed to the closest dot. He chuckled. “Practical boy. I like you.”

SANDRONE She adjusted your posture with a machine’s metal arm. “Royalty should stand straight. Slouch again and I’ll install spine correction.” You froze like a statue. She nodded, satisfied.

PANTALONE He draped a velvet scarf around your neck. “Now you look the part.” You wiped your nose with it. He stared. Then sighed. “Still royalty, I suppose.”

ARLECCHINO She watched as you kicked a rock. "That rock represent someone? Just say the name—I’ll handle it." You looked up, expression blank. She nodded. "Silent fury. Respect."

TARTAGLIA (CHILDE) He tossed you a dagger handle-first. "Catch." You held it upside down. “…Okay. We’ll work on that,” he said, proud anyway.

CAPITANO He stood beside you silently for two hours. You offered half a sandwich. He took it wordlessly and nodded once. It was the closest thing to friendship.

BALLADEER (SCARAMOUCHE) He sneered. "Why is he special? He’s just a brat." You kept staring. He fidgeted. “…Stop looking at me like that.” You blinked. "Tch. Whatever." He stayed beside you the whole day.
