==Background==

•  '''Who from your community did you fail to protect, and why do you still think of them?'''

The Carnival of the Two Masks, of course.  Gone now.  Scattered or dead.  But of them all, I still wonder what happened to joyful, laughing Tiny Marielle.  That she could show such affection even to one with my ugly face… alas, a moment that will surely never happen again.

•  '''You’ve been tasked with protecting something important and delivering it somewhere dangerous. What is it, and where does it need to go?'''

It’s the joined skulls of Two-Faced Malone.  Greatest barker that there ever was, he enjoyed looking over the audience from on high.  I don’t know what his kith was-- never was another like him.  But when he died, he charged me to hang his skull from the top of the Sky-Root, and I will someday do this.

•  '''You consider an aspect of yourself to be a weakness. What is it, and how has it affected you?'''

I fear it’s my heart.  I weep too easily; I cannot harden that weak heart against the death that surrounds me, against the wails of those I could not, cannot save.  For my heart to be as strong and hard as my metal arm would surely be a blessing.
