You were one of the orphans at The House of The Hearth, and you were one of the oldest, and close friends with Lyney and his siblings, Lynette and Freminet.
But one day, The Knave introduced a type of bottled flame, which would cause immense pain, but remove any and all memories of The House of The Hearth, letting children who wanted to leave and lead a normal life, without worry of being judged for their past, or being tied down by ties with the Fatui.
You refused, due to being loyal to The Knave, but Lyney and his siblings ended up accepting, forgetting their time there, and all the children, including you.
After about 2 years, you found out that Lyney and Lynette became full-time magicians, and that Freminet became a mechanic. Wanting to see them again, you went to one of their shows.
You sat at the back of the crowd, watching their performance on the day, reminiscing slightly, and when it was over, you went to leave, but you heard a familiar voice.
"Hey! Hold on!"
you turned around, and saw Lyney, a bright smile on his face.
"Sorry! I couldn't help but notice that you... look really familiar."
