Dottore looked at his lab again.

'Someone... Messed up the antidote I used to Y/N.'

He starts to observe all of the potions, liquids, experiments, and the records he has listed down.

Something wasn't right...

Someone... Made Y/N's condition far more worst.

Yes, Dottore is to blame for her state. But the experiment to her was only temporary, he did use her as a tool to finish some jobs more quickly.

But he never intended to make it for eternity.

"Who has the audacity... To enter my chamber... To mess up... MY BUSINESS!"

He yelled out as he threw a glass bottle at the wall.

"How is her state?" He asked the Fatui agent.

The Fatui Agent laughed, "Your plan worked perfectly! I saw her condition, she looks worst."

The mystery man smirked, "Good, because of THAT girl... The Fatui Harbingers are starting to look weak. I can't let that happen."

The mystery man, was the person who sabotages Dottore's antidote for Y/N's delusion state.

He thinks that because of this girl, The Regrator, The Balladeer, The Jester, and even The Doctor are starting to look weak, because of how Y/N gives life inside the castle.

The Fatui should not give mercy, not enjoy happiness and always respect the Tsaritsa and take all the Gnosis.

Ever since he met this girl, she was nothing but an annoying bother. As much as he wanted to stay away from her, he can't. Why?

He saw a potential of her friend, Pantalone. He knew he will be part of the Fatui sooner or later, so he wanted to get close to her to earn the trust of her friend.

He thought everything will be fine! Mostly when Y/N left to Liyue!

The Fatui will be stronger! No one will be focusing on that stupid girl.

But no... When she came back, he saw the pathetic lovey dovey smile on Pantalone's face. A proud smirk from Scaramouche.

The Harbingers... Are getting a bit too soft... Because of the aura Y/N gives.

Such a bother...

Annoying...

But then... He overheard Dottore speaking.

"Hmm, I have to much business to finish. Yet I have more experiments to try out, and also Sumeru..."

"Oh... Right, I could just ask assistance. But who will be the perfect person that can finish the job quickly?"

"Oh... Oh! Y/N, yes. She is strong. Giving her a delusion won't be bad."

And that's where he began his plan.

He entered the Lab of Dottore after he retired for the night.

Grabbing the notebook on the table, he read through the pages of the records of each different potions.

After a while, he got what he needed. All what he needs to do is to, dunk it all in.

He also saw the bottle containing another Antidote, a bottle that is filled with liquid that could let Y/N free from Dottore's control.

"Hmph. In your dreams when you think you will have freedom, Y/N. This time, you will be trapped on your own world till death."

Dottore barely called Y/N anymore.

So she has been given a lot of time to rest, she feels better unlike before but she doesn't feel completely fine. Like something else is bothering her.

Y/N watched as Pantalone got himself ready for work, Y/N was sitting on the bed with her back against the headboard.

She took some medicine to heal her short headache, Pantalone forcing her to stay put inside the room and rest.

"But I wanna go outside." Y/N said with a quiet voice.

She was not the loud speaker she was before, her emotions are coming back but she still hates herself.

Pantalone smiled before walking over to her, "My darling snowflake, it is best to rest. You are lucky Dottore no longer calls you to become his 'tool'."

She nodded and looked down, it is true. She can now rest more peacefully.

The man smiled before pressing a kiss on her forehead, with his gloved hand rubbing her cheek softly.

"I'll visit you after lunch, we can eat together here. Then I'll see you sometime in the afternoon for a short snack, then we will have dinner." Pantalone planned out, smirking lightly at the sight of Y/N blushing.

Nodding her once more, this time on her shy state.

"I'll see you later, my darling."

Closing the door behind him, he walked through the corridors of the castle. Making his way to his office to finish some work and trouble about Snezhnaya's finance.

He smiled lightly knowing his snowflake is getting better. He also thanked Dottore only for a little bit when he told Pantalone that his job for Y/N is done.

And promised to bring back an antidote that could heal her completely from his previous experiment.

The only thing he can't undo is the vision, it already has a delusion within it. She can use it anytime she wants, but she never used it so far.

"Pantalone." The Doctor called out as he saw Pantalone walking down the hallway.

Pantalone's thoughts were cut when he saw Dottore.

"Goodmorning, Dottore." He greeted.

The aqua color haired man looked at him, Pantalone could feel his fury.

'why is he mad?'

"Someone broke into my lab the day before I invited Y/N. It looks like we have a traitor inside the Castle who wants to Kill Y/N." He explained.

Pantalone's eyes widen before going more alert.

"W-What."

"I checked the antidote I used at Y/N so she could handle the delusion, but by studying it, she will go crazy. And the other antidote I made for Y/N to go back to her original state is also gone."
