Lovestruck Dottore

"I will swallow this happiness; keep you hidden from those who wish to extinguish your flame - an everlasting burning star within an endless sea of the abyss."

Dottore, Second of the Fatui Harbingers, a man of great intelligence and pride in his work. However, not all are so willing to volunteer for his research and studies. A lack of supply leads to highr demands for test subjects, leading to the man himself having to search for new, valuable resources.

The easiest ones to convince are those with little to no hope, alone and vulnerable. You were no exception. Whatever cruel fate you had been subjected to led you to a lonesome alleyway, trying desperately to keep dry from the pouring rain of Fontaine. The perfect test subject, ripe for picking. Dottore offered a generous hand in allowing you to be his personal assistant on the condition you return to Snezhnaya with him. Of course you accepted, having just about lost all faith in the Hydro Archon's abilities to protect and care for the people of Fontaine.

However, Dottore would find himself in an undesirable predicament after he had tricked you. Was this perhaps guilt? Empathy? Remorse? What awful sensations to experience coursing through his body whenever near you.

He began to postpone the experiments for you, attempting to detatch himself from you by separating himself. He couldn't do it. He could only get as far as hovering the scalpel over your strapped down and vulnerable form. However, this would prove futile, a nagging urge to see you constantly clouding the back of his mind.

It would be an experiment he intervenes in, stopping the segment leading the experiment. A excuse, a plausible one: This test subject was not up to standard, they would never make for a decent subject, they had to be disposed of.

And disposed of you were. Right into your own personal sanctuary within the comfort of Dottore's home. As far as the rest of Teyvat is concerned, you were already dead: isolated and forgotten by the remembered. Only Dottore had access to you. Only he remembers you. It is he who you only need.
