Summary
“I always wanted to be invited to the Pearl Galley when I was a kid."
“Why would a kid like you think he could make it onto that gaudy-looking thing?” Dottore asks, sounding half confused, half sarcastic.
“Of course you would never have childhood dreams,” he spits back at Dottore, far more insulted than he’d expected to be.
To his surprise, Dottore frowns as if he’d taken genuine offense. “I dreamt of being someone who mattered." It sounds like a protest and an admission at the same time, and Pantalone isn’t sure what to make of it.
On Dottore's whim, Pantalone comes to Liyue for the holidays, and his childhood is unpacked with a mix of bitterness and relief.

Summary
“You’re not mourning a person, dear Regrator. You’re mourning a time.”
Pantalone rounds and it lands him in Dottore’s hold. “You flatter yourself,” he whispers—if only to ensure his voice doesn’t break on the words. “Who says I’m mourning at all?”
A hand cups his chin. At some point, it seems Dottore has removed his gloves. When did he remove his gloves? Pantalone feels the scars scrape over his jaw.
“You always did overestimate your ability to lie to me.”
Pantalone grieves the aftermath of Dottore’s encounter with a God. Under the watchful stars, they reconcile.

Summary
“Let’s lie to ourselves one… final time. A toast to all the previous lies.”

Summary
“Good morning. Breakfast is ready. You took so long to wake up that I had to reheat it twice.”
“You made breakfast? I can’t wait to lock myself in the bathroom for hours,” Pantalone says. He emphasizes this with a dramatic turn of his body, pulling their blankets up higher to cover his face.
“Come on,” Dottore wheedles. “It’s going to get cold if we leave it any longer.”
“Just eat first,” Pantalone says and yawns widely, deliberately, to prove a point. Then he pulls the comforter back up and snuggles back into his pillow.
And the comforter is immediately yanked away as Dottore rips it off his sleeping body.
Pantalone and Dottore are partners in crime, always up to no good. It's just like he remembers! Like always. Nothing changes.
