   Summary

   Scaramouche finds another puppet in the snow. A nameless puppet, left to rot away, just like he once had been.
   This world in which we exist just to suffer is harsh and unforgiving. It's no use sugarcoating things, and kindness is a sham just to make it all hurt that much more. Lies. It's all lies.
   But...
   When presented with the choice to start a life, exactly like his, with a happy ending, will he take it? Take the poor puppet in? Or leave her to waste away?
   It'll all be the same in the end, for everyone is worn down one way or another in the cruel course of Fate.
   Right...?
