Summary
Scaramouche has lived for centuries, an immortal burdened by the weight of a single, unforgivable act. In the world of Teyvat, he betrayed the one person who dared to see the good in him. Aether, the hero of light, had trusted him-a mistake that cost the golden-haired boy his life.
As Aether lay dying, his final words shattered Scaramouche's cold facade. "I know I'm pathetic for trusting you. But I can't help it... because I love you."
Those words became Scaramouche's curse, haunting him long after Teyvat was gone. He thought the memories would fade with time, but time was merciless to someone who could never die.
Then, one day, Scaramouche awoke in a new world. The same stars glimmered in the sky, but the world beneath them was different-a parallel reality where Scaramouche was no longer a harbinger but the crowned prince of Inazuma. He thought it was his second chance to escape the past.
Until he saw him. Aether.
Alive, yet changed-a commoner this time, but unmistakably the same. Scaramouche's heart, frozen for centuries, stirred once more. Could he right the wrongs of his past? Or would his sins catch up to him, dragging both of them into a spiral of despair once again?
