Summary
Arlecchino's curse is a complete mystery to the living. Its history died with its predecessors. As she's gotten older, she's held the curse at bay, understanding as much as she can about how it works.
She never anticipated waking up as a beast one day.
Meanwhile, Furina still struggles to walk alone at night despite her progress in healing all the hurt she faced in 500 years.
An opportunity is presented to Arlecchino on a silver platter. One can hardly blame someone for taking such an eager gift.

Summary
The first time it happened, she dismissed it, assuming she had simply gone mad. The second, third, and fourth times, she did the same. But eventually she started paying attention to the words, and learned things a maddened mind shouldn’t have been able to conjure on its own—information she should have had no way of knowing, delivered straight from cold, stilled lips. By the first time the voices materialized into a tangible shadow for someone else to witness, she had already accepted her own sanity.
It hadn't taken long after that to learn how to tune them out. Dead people hardly make for good conversationalists, after all, and these particular voices had little worth listening to in life either.
Even so, there will be bad days. There will be days when more than just a handful of voices resurface, when their weak, fading moans turn into an overwhelming tide of pain. There will be days the dull ache in her charred arms sharpens, the heat beneath her skin stirring into something hotter, more unbearable. Even those days she has learned to cope with.
Today is not one of those days.
Today is worse.
Or
Arlecchino has a bad day. Furina makes it better.
