Summary
What do you say to a man who destroyed every version of himself except the one frozen at the peak of his own selfishness, the one least capable of being loved, and the one who never learned what it is to care about another?
The answer is not so simple.
But Pantalone stays anyway and learns that loving what remains of a man is nothing like loving the man himself.

Summary
“You’ve never treated me fairly,” 35 snapped. “You give the others your trust while you only afford me skepticism.”
Zandik met his glare, working his lips dryly. “You pin an old man to his chair while demanding fairness and trust… The irony would be amusing if it were not so pathetic.”
35 held Zandik’s gaze for a moment longer, then exhaled through clenched teeth and shoved himself away, retreating to the window like a storm front rolling away. Zandik closed his eyes and took a slow breath.
“I am growing tired of your mistrust,” 35 told him testily.
“... And I grow tired of your attempts at intimidation. Don’t think I’ve forgotten what it was like to be you; I, too, had a penchant for playing petty mind games,” Zandik reminded him, his grip on the cane tightening. “I also remember believing there was no price too high for knowledge. Do you truly expect me to believe you have changed?”
“You’ve never been ‘me’.”
Not 35—of course Zandik had been 35—but him, the Omega Build.
Character study depicting 35 and Zandik's complex relationship with themselves and each other.

There are six versions of Dottore and not a single one of them knows how to say I care about you without wrapping it in an equation, a budget report, or a cup of tea they claim they made by accident

Summary
A series of forgotten voice logs were uncovered in the old abandoned archive that once belonged to the Second Fatui Harbinger: Il Dottore (aka The Doctor). The owner of these tapes appeared to be the designated Segment-459. However, when searched in the database, there were no records whatsoever of this specific segment ever existing.
If you read through the transcriptions of these logs and find something that rings a bell regarding this Segment-459, please let me know.
