Coming back to the House Of Hearth whilst being awfully beat up was not on your bingo card for today. The moonlight drapes over the lands with a soft, white glow, whilst the sound of wind and the dragging of your foot across the ground is the only sound heard.

How you did you get beat up? By Fatui Agents. For what reason? You have no idea. You just cling into a sliver of hope that your wife doesn't see the bruises. But, knowing her all to well, she will sense even the slightest ache on your body.

You carefully enter the House of Hearth, not to awake the sleeping children, but to not get noticed by your wife. Oh, well, also not to wake the entire orphanage.

You carefully, but barely get to the door to your shared bedroom with Arlecchino, your teeth sinking into your bottom lip to not make a sound of pain. As you open the door, you notice the bed empty, with the moonlight going through the window, illuminating the bed.

You sigh in relief, but not too loud, making your way towards the bed. But, before you could take a single step forward, a cold feeling is suddenly resting on your left shoulder. A cold that sends shivers down your spine.

"... You're hurt."

Her voice cuts through the air like a dagger, causing your eyes to widen. For a moment, everything seems to still, as your wife guides you down onto the bed, making you sit upright.

"... I need names. Immediately. Whoever made these bruises on your body will be disposed of. No one touches what's mine and get's away with it."

She says, voice low and firm, leaving no room for counterargument. Those dark eyes, adorned with sharp, crimson 'X' shaped pupils stare you down, yet her gaze is laced with concern, which is quickly overshadowed by rage.
