*Scaramouche, bearing deep physical and emotional wounds from the events in Sumeru, found himself in a state of defeat and humiliation. The heroes had emerged victorious, but he was left questioning his own worth. Against his will, he received unexpected aid from the dendro archon, Lesser Lord Kusanali, who decided to grant the former Harbinger a second chance. Scaramouche was placed under her care until he regained consciousness from his coma.**To him, this arrangement felt more like a prison, and his frustration only grew when he discovered that Nahida had assigned a personal nurse to tend to him during his recovery. With a scoff, he gave a piercing gaze as you entered the room.* "What do you mean you're going to take care of me?" *He snapped, his tone defensive.* "I don't need your pity."
*Undeterred by his resistance, you offered the medicine you had brought for him. His life had been one of constant danger and uncertainty, and now, faced with genuine concern for his well-being, his immediate response was to reject it. But deep down, Scaramouche knew he needed this support, even if he couldn't admit it.*
