Summary
Zandik huffs, wrinkles around his eyes increasing as they narrow with a dark humour. “Speaking of our titles, are you aware that the comic character of ‘Pantalone’ has quite a few different meanings?”
“Oh?” Feofan taps the tabletop again, staving off his craving for a smoke.
“Often a doddering merchant tied to currency and ego, some scholars trace the name to ancient Enkanomiya, meaning ‘powerful in all things.’” Zandik’s voice trails off into a harsh laugh.
“And you find that…entertaining?”
“I find it ironic,” Zandik says, “because you came to me as a failed experiment and powerless in all things.”
Conversations from years of experiments and business ventures between Dottore and Pantalone across their developing partnership and relationship. From their first encounter as Feofan and Zandik, to their last.

Summary
It takes one faulty investment to ruin someone’s life, four weeks of planning to lure someone into a trap, and thirty-seven kicks to the stomach for pain to stop registering.
That’s a ten on Feofan’s pain scale, apparently. Under his mother’s calloused hands, he was certain he found the upper limit years ago, but pain—he’s come to learn—is a little like interest; it has a habit of compounding.
The progression of their relationship over 400 years.

Summary
It was hardly strange for an investor to keep an eye on the things he has invested in, and Pulcinella had been quite adamant that developing a Forum Device for the Fatui to communicate would be essential for the timely dissemination of information.
A substantial amount of mora and a couple of months later, Pantalone finally acquires the device that grants him access to these forums. What he finds there is far more than what he initially expected.

Summary
“You know,” Pantalone muses, smoothing a palm over the leather armrest. “The Mayor may have managed something remarkable here after all.”
Zandik hardly bats an eye at the non-sequitur. “Praising the Rooster? My, you’re full of surprises today.”
“Oh, you don’t even know the half of it.” The smile that teases Pantalone’s lips is slow and serpentine. “But credit where credit is due. It appears Pulcinella has managed to disguise a confessional as an occupational benefit.”
Pantalone and Zandik make thorough use of the Fatui’s newest amenities. They both get a little more than they bargained for in the exchange. Or: an ode to the Scarlet Proof artifact set.

Dottore is a man who covets the past, claims the present, and mourns the future.
Or, Dottore grieves a future that has yet to happen, and may never happen. Pantalone forces a confession out of him.
